Subject: [PATCH 4/4] tracing: fix splice return too large



I got these from strace:

splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 12288
splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 12288
splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 12288
splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 16384
splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 8192
splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 8192
splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 8192

I wanted to splice_read 4096 bytes, but it returns 8192 or larger.

It is because the return value of tracing_buffers_splice_read()
is not include "zero out any left over data" bytes.
But tracing_buffers_read() include these bytes, we make them
consistent.
