tracing: Do not calculate strlen() twice for __string() fields
The TRACE_EVENT() macro handles dynamic strings by having: TP_PROTO(struct some_struct *s), TP_ARGS(s), TP_STRUCT__entry( __string(my_string, s->string) ), TP_fast_assign( __assign_str(my_string, s->string); ) TP_printk("%s", __get_str(my_string)) There's even some code that may call a function helper to find the s->string value. The problem with the above is that the work to get the s->string is done twice. Once at the __string() and again in the __assign_str(). The length of the string is calculated via a strlen(), not once, but twice. Once during the __string() macro and again in __assign_str(). But the length is actually already recorded in the data location and here's no reason to call strlen() again. Just use the saved length that was saved in the __string() code for the __assign_str() code.
