tracing: user local buffer variable for trace branch tracer

Just using the tr->buffer for the API to trace_buffer_lock_reserve
is not good enough. This is because the tr->buffer may change, and we
do not want to commit with a different buffer that we reserved from.

This patch uses a local variable to hold the buffer that was used to
reserve and commit with.
