    RHBZ1892179: handle exhausted stp_task_work structs
    
    In utrace_report_syscall_entry and _exit, there is a possibility of
    dereferencing a NULL pointer, in case __stp_utrace_alloc_task_work
    exhausts UTRACE_TASK_WORK_POOL_SIZE live elements.  While OOM is
    still a possibility, this patch handles it more gracefully.

    Some workloads were observed to exhaust the previous limit of 288.
