tracing/probes: Fix MAX_TRACE_ARGS limit handling

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tracing/probes: Fix MAX_TRACE_ARGS limit handling

When creating a trace_probe we would set nr_args prior to truncating the
arguments to MAX_TRACE_ARGS. However, we would only initialize arguments
up to the limit.

This caused invalid memory access when attempting to set up probes with
more than 128 fetchargs.

  RIP: 0010:__set_print_fmt+0x134/0x330

Resolve the issue by applying the MAX_TRACE_ARGS limit earlier. Return
an error when there are too many arguments instead of silently
truncating.
