tracing: Fix trace_marker output

When a string was written to <debugfs>/tracing/trace_marker, some
strange characters appeared in the trace output instead of the
string, since a vprint function erroneously called a vararg print
function with a va_list argument. This patch fixes the problem and
simplifies the related code.
