[for-next][PATCH 03/11] tracing: Have saved_cmdlines arrays all in one allocation

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The saved_cmdlines have three arrays for mapping PIDs to COMMs:

- map_pid_to_cmdline[]
- map_cmdline_to_pid[]
- saved_cmdlines

The map_pid_to_cmdline[] is PID_MAX_DEFAULT in size and holds the index
into the other arrays. The map_cmdline_to_pid[] is a mapping back to the
full pid as it can be larger than PID_MAX_DEFAULT. And the
saved_cmdlines[] just holds the COMMs associated to the pids.

Currently the map_pid_to_cmdline[] and saved_cmdlines[] are allocated
together (in reality the saved_cmdlines is just in the memory of the
rounding of the allocation of the structure as it is always allocated in
powers of two). The map_cmdline_to_pid[] array is allocated separately.

Since the rounding to a power of two is rather large (it allows for 8000
elements in saved_cmdlines), also include the map_cmdline_to_pid[] array.
(This drops it to 6000 by default, which is still plenty for most use
cases). This saves even more memory as the map_cmdline_to_pid[] array
doesn't need to be allocated.
