[GIT PULL] tracing: Fix TASK_COMM_LEN in trace event format file

Linus,

tracing: Fix showing of TASK_COMM_LEN instead of its value

The TASK_COMM_LEN was converted from a macro into an enum so that BTF
would have access to it. But this unfortunately caused TASK_COMM_LEN to
display in the format fields of trace events, as they are created by the
TRACE_EVENT() macro and such, macros convert to their values, where as
enums do not (breaking some user space tooling).

To handle this, instead of using the field itself to be display, save the
value of the array size as another field in the trace_event_fields
structure, and use that instead. Not only does this fix the issue, but
also converts the other trace events that have this same problem (but were
not breaking tooling). With this change, the original work around for this
type of issue: b3bc8547d3be6 ("tracing: Have TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM affect trace
event types as well") could be reverted (but that should be done in the
merge window).

tracing: Fix TASK_COMM_LEN in trace event format file

After commit 3087c61ed2c4 ("tools/testing/selftests/bpf: replace open-coded 16 with TASK_COMM_LEN"),
the content of the format file under
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/task/task_newtask was changed from
field:char comm[16]; offset:12; size:16; signed:0;
to
field:char comm[TASK_COMM_LEN]; offset:12; size:16; signed:0;

John reported that this change breaks older versions of perfetto.
Then Mathieu pointed out that this behavioral change was caused by the
use of __stringify(_len), which happens to work on macros, but not on enum
labels. And he also gave the suggestion on how to fix it:
:One possible solution to make this more robust would be to extend
:struct trace_event_fields with one more field that indicates the length
:of an array as an actual integer, without storing it in its stringified
:form in the type, and do the formatting in f_show where it belongs.

The result as follows after this change,
$ cat /sys/kernel/tracing/events/task/task_newtask/format
field:char comm[16]; offset:12; size:16; signed:0;
