Subject: ipr: Fix incorrect trace indexing

From: Brian King <[email protected]>

commit bb7c54339e6a10ecce5c4961adf5e75b3cf0af30 upstream.

When ipr's internal driver trace was changed to an atomic, a signed/unsigned bug slipped in which results in us indexing backwards in our memory buffer writing on memory that does not belong to us. This patch fixes this by removing the modulo and instead just mask off the low bits.
