Fix ref count of trace_array in error path of histogram file open

Tracing instances have a ref count to keep them around while files within
 their directories are open. This prevents them from being deleted while
 they are used. The histogram code had some files that needed to take the
 ref count and that was added, but the error paths did not decrement the
 ref counts. This caused the instances from ever being removed if a
 histogram file failed to open due to some error.
