Subject: tracing: Apply trace_clock changes to instance max buffer

From: Baohong Liu <baohong.liu@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 170b3b1050e28d1ba0700e262f0899ffa4fccc52 upstream.

Currently trace_clock timestamps are applied to both regular and max
buffers only for global trace. For instance trace, trace_clock
timestamps are applied only to regular buffer. But, regular and max
buffers can be swapped, for example, following a snapshot. So, for
instance trace, bad timestamps can be seen following a snapshot.
Let's apply trace_clock timestamps to instance max buffer as well.
