"tracing_map->next_elt" in get_free_elt() is at risk of overflowing.

Once it overflows, new elements can still be inserted into the tracing_map
even though the maximum number of elements (`max_elts`) has been reached.
Continuing to insert elements after the overflow could result in the
tracing_map containing "tracing_map->max_size" elements, leaving no empty
entries.
If any attempt is made to insert an element into a full tracing_map using
`__tracing_map_insert()`, it will cause an infinite loop with preemption
disabled, leading to a CPU hang problem.

Fix this by preventing any further increments to "tracing_map->next_elt"
once it reaches "tracing_map->max_elt".

Just a gentle ping. Any comments on this patch will be appreciated.
Actually we have encountered this issue internally after enabling the
throttle_rss_stat feature in Perfetto for an extended duration, during
which the rss_stat tracepoint was invoked over 2^32 times.
Then the CPU could hang in function "__tracing_map_insert()" after the
tracing_map left no empty entry.

throttle_rss_stat is literally:
1. $echo "rss_stat_throttled unsigned int mm_id unsigned int curr int
member long size" >> /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events
2. $echo
'hist:keys=mm_id,member:bucket=size/0x80000:onchange($bucket).rss_stat_
throttled(mm_id,curr,member,size)' >
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/kmem/rss_stat/trigger
