[PATCH 05/11] tracing: use << to print < instead of \<

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

The print formats are passed through sprintf for processing. This means that
we can not use % or \ unless we process it for printk. Trying to use \< to
print a single < breaks the sprintf processing.

Instead, to print a single '<' a '<<' is used instead.
