[ Upstream commit 0fe6ee8f123a4dfb529a5aff07536bb481f34043 ]

2d186afd04d6 ("profiling: fix shift-out-of-bounds bugs") limits shift
value by [0, BITS_PER_LONG -1], which means [0, 63].

However, syzbot found that the max shift value should be the bit number of
(_etext - _stext). If shift is outside of this, the "buffer_bytes" will
be zero and will cause kzalloc(0). Then the kernel panics due to
dereferencing the returned pointer 16.

This can be easily reproduced by passing a large number like 60 to enable
profiling and then run readprofile.
