[PATCH 1/5] tracing: Simplify calculating entry size using struct_size()

[Steven Rostedt]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

When tracing a dynamic string field for a synthetic event, the offset
calculation for where to write the next event can use struct_size() to
find what the current size of the structure is.

This simplifies the code and makes it less error prone.
