tracing/synthetic: Use union instead of casts
[ Upstream commit ddeea494a16f32522bce16ee65f191d05d4b8282 ]
The current code uses a lot of casts to access the fields member in struct
synth_trace_events with different sizes. This makes the code hard to
read, and had already introduced an endianness bug. Use a union and struct
instead.
