Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] tracing: Fix for non-continuous cpu ids

Currently exception occures due to access beyond buffer_iter
range while using index of cpu bigger than num_possible_cpus().
Below there is an example for such exception when we use
cpus 0,1,16,17.

In order to fix buffer allocation size for non-continuous cpu ids
we allocate according to the max cpu id and not according to the
amount of possible cpus.

Example:
  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu1/trace
  Path: /bin/busybox
  CPU: 0 PID: 82 Comm: cat Not tainted 4.0.0 #29
  task: 80734c80 ti: 80012000 task.ti: 80012000
