Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tracing: Resize tgid_map to PID_MAX_LIMIT, not PID_MAX_DEFAULT

Currently tgid_map is sized at PID_MAX_DEFAULT entries, which means that
on systems where pid_max is configured higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT the
ftrace record-tgid option doesn't work so well. Any tasks with PIDs
higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT are simply not recorded in tgid_map, and
don't show up in the saved_tgids file.

In particular since systemd v243 & above configure pid_max to its
highest possible 1<<22 value by default on 64 bit systems this renders
the record-tgids option of little use.

Increase the size of tgid_map to PID_MAX_LIMIT instead, allowing it to
cover the full range of PIDs up to the maximum value of pid_max.

On 64 bit systems this will increase the size of tgid_map from 256KiB to
16MiB. Whilst this 64x increase in memory overhead sounds significant 64
bit systems are presumably best placed to accommodate it, and since
tgid_map is only allocated when the record-tgid option is actually used
presumably the user would rather it spends sufficient memory to actually
record the tgids they expect.

The size of tgid_map will also increase for CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=y
configurations, but these seem unlikely to be systems upon which people
are running ftrace with record-tgid anyway.
