Subject: tracing/synthetic: Fix trace_string() return value
From: Thorsten Blum <thorsten.blum@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 9b6326354cf9a41521b79287da3bfab022ae0b6d upstream.
Fix trace_string() by assigning the string length to the return variable
which got lost in commit ddeea494a16f ("tracing/synthetic: Use union
instead of casts") and caused trace_string() to always return 0.
