  While debugging some boot up code, I found that the snapshots were
constantly triggering at boot up, even though there was no boot
snapshot specified. Looking into it, I found there were too bugs.

1) It would trigger a snapshot on any instance if one was created
   from the kernel command line.

2) The error handling would only affect the top level instance.
   So the fact that a snapshot was done on a instance that didn't
   allocate a buffer triggered a warning written into the top level
   buffer, and worse yet, disabled the top level buffer.

Changes since v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20230404230011.757302390@goodmis.org/

 - My tests failed due to tr->allocated_snapshot only being a field
   when CONFIG_TRACE_MAX_TRACE is defined. And it doesn't make sense
   doing any of that logic if it is not, as snapshots depend on that config.

This addresses both of the above bugs.
