[PATCH 6.1.y] tracing: Do not add length to print format in synthetic events

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

[ Upstream commit e1a453a57bc76be678bd746f84e3d73f378a9511 ]

The following causes a vsnprintf fault:

  # echo 's:wake_lat char[] wakee; u64 delta;' >> /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events
  # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts=common_timestamp.usecs if !(common_flags & 0x18)' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_waking/trigger
  # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:delta=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts:onmatch(sched.sched_waking).trace(wake_lat,next_comm,$delta)' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger

Because the synthetic event's "wakee" field is created as a dynamic string
(even though the string copied is not). The print format to print the
dynamic string changed from "%*s" to "%s" because another location
(__set_synth_event_print_fmt()) exported this to user space, and user
space did not need that. But it is still used in print_synth_event(), and
the output looks like:

          <idle>-0       [001] d..5.   193.428167: wake_lat: wakee=(efault)sshd-sessiondelta=155
    sshd-session-879     [001] d..5.   193.811080: wake_lat: wakee=(efault)kworker/u34:5delta=58
          <idle>-0       [002] d..5.   193.811198: wake_lat: wakee=(efault)bashdelta=91
            bash-880     [002] d..5.   193.811371: wake_lat: wakee=(efault)kworker/u35:2delta=21
          <idle>-0       [001] d..5.   193.811516: wake_lat: wakee=(efault)sshd-sessiondelta=129
    sshd-session-879     [001] d..5.   193.967576: wake_lat: wakee=(efault)kworker/u34:5delta=50

The length isn't needed as the string is always nul terminated. Just print
the string and not add the length (which was hard coded to the max string
length anyway).
