 ---[ end trace d301afa879ddfa25 ]---

The cause is because the register_snapshot_trigger() call failed to
allocate the snapshot buffer, and then called unregister_trigger()
which freed the data that was passed to it. Then on return to the
function that called register_snapshot_trigger(), as it sees it
failed to register, it frees the trigger_data again and causes
a double free.

By calling event_trigger_init() on the trigger_data (which only ups
the reference counter for it), and then event_trigger_free() afterward,
the trigger_data would not get freed by the registering trigger function
as it would only up and lower the ref count for it. If the register
trigger function fails, then the event_trigger_free() called after it
will free the trigger data normally.
