Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Add the bucket size to expr_field_str()

expr_field_str() renders a HIST_FIELD_FL_BUCKET field as "pid.buckets",
dropping the count, and parse_field() rejects that spelling.

get_hist_field_flags() returns the bare string "buckets" and keeps the
count in hist_field->buckets. hist_field_print() appends it,
expr_field_str() never did. Nothing reaches it today, since .buckets is
refused on a value and no expression can carry one, but the next patch
renders histogram keys with expr_field_str(), where a .buckets key is
legal.

Append the count, as hist_field_print() does.
