tracing: Fix last_cmd_set() string management in histogram code

Using strnlen(dest, str, n) is confusing, as the size of dest must be
strlen(dest) + n + 1. Even more confusing, using sizeof(string constant)
gives you strlen(string constant) + 1 and not just strlen().

These two together made using strncat() with a constant string a bit off
in the calculations as we have:

	len = sizeof(HIST_PREFIX) + strlen(str) + 1;
	kfree(last_cmd);
	last_cmd = kzalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);
	strcpy(last_cmd, HIST_PREFIX);
	len -= sizeof(HIST_PREFIX) + 1;
	strncat(last_cmd, str, len);

The above works if we s/sizeof/strlen/ with HIST_PREFIX (which is defined
as "hist:", but because sizeof(HIST_PREFIX) is equal to
strlen(HIST_PREFIX) + 1, we can drop the +1 in the code. But at least
comment that we are doing so.
