With 5.9 kernel on ARM64, I found ftrace_dump output was broken but it had no problem with normal output "cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace". With investigation, it seems coping the data into temporal buffer seems to break the align binary printf expects if the static buffer is not aligned with 4-byte. IIUC, get_arg in bstr_printf expects that args has already right align to be decoded and seq_buf_bprintf says ``the arguments are saved in a 32bit word array that is defined by the format string constraints``. So if we don't keep the align under copy to temporal buffer, the output will be broken by shifting some bytes. This patch fixes it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
