tracing: Have event format check not flag %p* on __get_dynamic_array()

Browse source 
The print fmt check against trace events to make sure that the format does
not use pointers that may be freed from the time of the trace to the time
the event is read, gives a false positive on %pISpc when reading data that
was saved in __get_dynamic_array() when it is perfectly fine to do so, as
the data being read is on the ring buffer.
