tracing: Fix an unallocated memory access in function_graph
With CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, I observed an unallocated memory access in function_graph trace. It appears we find a small size entry in ring buffer, but we access it as a big size entry. The access overflows the page size and touches an unallocated page.
