[2/2] tracing: Do not calculate strlen() twice for __string() fields

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <[e-mail]>

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
length of 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
(via strcpy() in __assign_str()). Once during the __string() macro and again
in __assign_str(). But the length is actually already recorded in the data
location and there's no reason to call strlen() again.

Just use the saved length that was saved in the __string() code for the
__assign_str() code.
