It was reported that trace_printk() was not reporting properly
values that came after a dereference pointer.
trace_printk() utilizes vbin_printf() and bstr_printf() to keep the
overhead of tracing down. vbin_printf() does not do any conversions
and just stors the string format and the raw arguments into the
buffer. bstr_printf() is used to read the buffer and does the conversions
to complete the printf() output.
This can be troublesome with dereferenced pointers because the reference
may be different from the time vbin_printf() is called to the time
bstr_printf() is called. To fix this, a prior commit changed vbin_printf()
to convert dereferenced pointers into strings and load the converted
string into the buffer. But the change to bstr_printf() had an off-by-one
error and didn't account for the nul character at the end of the string
and this corrupted the rest of the values in the format that came after
a dereferenced pointer.
