Subject: [for-next][PATCH 03/11] tracing: Use vmalloc_array() to improve code

From: Qianfeng Rong <rongqianfeng@...o.com>

Remove array_size() calls and replace vmalloc() with vmalloc_array() in
tracing_map_sort_entries().  vmalloc_array() is optimized better, uses
fewer instructions, and handles overflow more concisely[1].
