tracing: Fix buffer overflow in trace event filter
It was reported that if a trace event was larger than a page
and was filtered, that it caused memory corruption. The reason
is that filtered events first go into a buffer to test the filter
before being written into the ring buffer. Unfortunately,
this write did not check the size.

tracing: Check length before giving out the filter buffer
When filters are used by trace events, a page is allocated on each CPU and
used to copy the trace event fields to this page before writing to the ring
buffer. The reason to use the filter and not write directly into the ring
buffer is because a filter may discard the event and there's more overhead
on discarding from the ring buffer than the extra copy.
The problem here is that there is no check against the size being allocated
when using this page. If an event asks for more than a page size while being
filtered, it will get only a page, leading to the caller writing more that
what was allocated.
Check the length of the request, and if it is more than PAGE_SIZE minus the
header default back to allocating from the ring buffer directly. The ring
buffer may reject the event if its too big anyway, but it wont overflow.
