Hi Linus,

Probes fixes for v7.2-rc4:

- tracing/probes: Avoid temporary buffer truncation in match_command_args()
  Compare argument name, delimiter, and comm expression directly instead of
  formatting into a stack buffer to prevent false matching failures.

- tracing/probes: Prevent out-of-bounds write in __trace_probe_log_err()
  Return early when trace_probe_log.argc is zero to prevent out-of-bounds
  access when constructing the formatted error command string.

- tracing/probes: Fix potential underflow in LEN_OR_ZERO macro
  Ensure buffer length is greater than current position before subtraction
  to prevent unsigned size underflow when formatting print strings.

- tracing/eprobe: Fix exact system name matching in eprobe_dyn_event_match()
  Check system name null-termination to avoid partial prefix matching when
  comparing event probe target system names.
