Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "Fix buffer overflow in trace event filter.

  It was reported that if an 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"
