RAMOOPS: Don't overflow over non-allocated regions
The current code mis-calculates the ramoops header size, leading to an overflow over the next record at best, or over a non-allocated region at worst. Fix that calculation. Signed-off-by: Ahmed S. Darwish <darwish.07@gmail.com> Acked-by: Marco Stornelli <marco.stornelli@gmail.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
