profiling: fix shift too large makes kernel panic
2d186afd04d6 ("profiling: fix shift-out-of-bounds bugs") limits shift value by [0, BITS_PER_LONG -1], which means [0, 63]. However, syzbot found that the max shift value should be the bit number of (_etext - _stext). If shift is outside of this, the "buffer_bytes" will be zero and will cause kzalloc(0). Then the kernel panics due to dereferencing the returned pointer 16. This can be easily reproduced by passing a large number like 60 to enable profiling and then run readprofile.
