Subject[PATCH] net/mlx5: reduce stack usage in FW tracer
Date
It's generally not ok to put a 512 byte buffer on the stack, as kernel
stack is a scarce resource:

drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/diag/fw_tracer.c:660:13: error: stack frame size of 1032 bytes in function 'mlx5_fw_tracer_handle_traces' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than=]

This is done in a context that is allowed to sleep, so using
dynamic allocation is ok as well. I'm not too worried about
runtime overhead, as this already contains an snprintf() and
other expensive functions.

Fixes: 70dd6fdb8987 ("net/mlx5: FW tracer, parse traces and kernel tracing support")
