tracing: Rework __assign_str() and __string() to not duplicate gettin…

…g the string

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().

But the __string() uses dynamic_array() which has a helper structure that
is created holding the offsets and length of the string fields. Instead of
finding the string twice, just save it off in another field from that
helper structure, and have __assign_str() use that instead.

Note, this also means that the second parameter of __assign_str() isn't
even used anymore, and may be removed in the future.
