[PATCH 7/7] tracing: Remove size restriction on synthetic event cmd error logging

From: Tom Zanussi
Date: Thu Jan 27 2022 - 16:44:43 EST


Currently, synthetic event command error strings are restricted to a
length of MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL (256), which is too short for some
commands already seen in the wild (with cmd strings longer than that
showing up truncated in err_log).

Remove the restriction so that no synthetic event command error string
is ever truncated.
