[for-next][PATCH 05/18] ftrace: Drop a VLA in module_exists()

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Salvatore Mesoraca <s.mesoraca16@xxxxxxxxx>

Avoid a VLA by using a real constant expression instead of a variable.
The compiler should be able to optimize the original code and avoid using
an actual VLA. Anyway this change is useful because it will avoid a false
positive with -Wvla, it might also help the compiler generating better
code.
