commit 823e670f7ed616d0ce993075c8afe0217885f79d upstream.
With the new osnoise tracer, we are seeing the below splat: Kernel attempted to read user page (c7d880000) - exploit attempt? (uid: 0) BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access on read at 0xc7d880000 Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000002ffa10 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] LE PAGE_SIZE=64K MMU=Radix SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries ...

osnoise tracer on ppc64le is triggering osnoise_taint() for negative duration in get_int_safe_duration() called from trace_sched_switch_callback()->thread_exit().
The problem though is that the check for a valid trace_percpu_buffer is incorrect in get_trace_buf(). The check is being done after calculating the pointer for the current cpu, rather than on the main percpu pointer. Fix the check to be against trace_percpu_buffer.
