tracing: Fix synth event printk format for str fields
commit 4d38328eb442dc06aec4350fd9594ffa6488af02 upstream. The printk format for synth event uses "%.*s" to print string fields, but then only passes the pointer part as var arg. Replace %.*s with %s as the C string is guaranteed to be null-terminated. The output in print fmt should never have been updated as __get_str() handles the string limit because it can access the length of the string in the string meta data that is saved in the ring buffer.
