RAMOOPS: Don't overflow over non-allocated regions
commit 1873bb8115e678ad9fd0aac9dbbc68383bc36e06 upstream. The current code mis-calculates the ramoops header size, leading to an overflow over the next record at best, or over a non-allocated region at worst. Fix that calculation. Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.
