Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 09/37] perf util: Fix bad memory access in trace
 info.

From: Chris Phlipot <cphlipot0@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit a72f64261359b7451f8478f2a2bf357b4e6c757f ]

In the write to the output_fd in the error condition of
record_saved_cmdline(), we are writing 8 bytes from a memory location on
the stack that contains a primitive that is only 4 bytes in size.
Change the primitive to 8 bytes in size to match the size of the write
in order to avoid reading unknown memory from the stack.
