Linus,
This fixes kprobes/uprobes dynamic processing of strings, where
it processes the args but does not update the remaining length
of the buffer that the string arguments will be placed in. It
constantly passes in the total size of buffer used instead of
passing in the remaining size of the buffer used. This could cause
issues if the strings are larger than the max size of an event
which could cause the strings to be written beyond what was reserved
on the buffer.

tracing: probeevent: Correctly update remaining space in dynamic area
Commit 9178412ddf5a ("tracing: probeevent: Return consumed
bytes of dynamic area") improved the string fetching
mechanism by returning the number of required bytes after
copying the argument to the dynamic area. However, this
return value is now only used to increment the pointer
inside the dynamic area but misses updating the 'maxlen'
variable which indicates the remaining space in the dynamic
area.
This means that fetch_store_string() always reads the *total*
size of the dynamic area from the data_loc pointer instead of
the *remaining* size (and passes it along to
strncpy_from_{user,unsafe}) even if we're already about to
copy data into the middle of the dynamic area.
