tracing: Do not allocate buffer in trace_find_next_entry() in atomic
When dumping out the trace data in latency format, a check is made to peek
at the next event to compare its timestamp to the current one, and if the
delta is of a greater size, it will add a marker showing so. But to do this,
it needs to save the current event otherwise peeking at the next event will
remove the current event. To save the event, a temp buffer is used, and if
the event is bigger than the temp buffer, the temp buffer is freed and a
bigger buffer is allocated.
This allocation is a problem when called in atomic context. The only way
this gets called via atomic context is via ftrace_dump(). Thus, use a static
buffer of 128 bytes (which covers most events), and if the event is bigger
than that, simply return NULL. The callers of trace_find_next_entry() need
to handle a NULL case, as that's what would happen if the allocation failed.
