lockdep: Avoid out of bounds array reference in save_trace()

ia64 found this the hard way (because we currently have a stub
for save_stack_trace() that does nothing). But it would be a
good idea to be cautious in case a real save_stack_trace()
bailed out with an error before it set trace->nr_entries.
