If tracer->init() fails, current code will leave current_tracer pointing to an unusable tracer, which at best makes 'current_tracer' report inaccurate value. Fix the issue by pointing current_tracer to nop tracer, and only update current_tracer with the new one after all the initialization succeeds.
