Fix: lttng: initialize variable in run_command_string

I got some crashes when using `lttng track` and hitting some error
paths.  The tracker_handle variable is run_command_string is passed to
lttng_process_attr_tracker_handle_destroy uninitialized if
lttng_session_get_tracker_handle fails.

    $ valgrind lttng track --kernel --pid 569878

Fix it by initializing it to NULL.
