[PATCH 2/5] tracing: fix ref count in splice pages

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

The pages allocated for the splice binary buffer did not initialize
the ref count correctly. This caused pages not to be freed and causes
a drastic memory leak.

Thanks to logdev I was able to trace the tracer to find where the leak
was.
