tracing: Add BUILD_BUG() to make sure stacktrace fits in strings
The max string length for a histogram variable is 256 bytes. The max depth of a stacktrace is 16. With 8byte words, that's 16 * 8 = 128. Which can easily fit in the string variable. The histogram stacktrace is being stored in the string value (with the given max length), with the assumption it will fit. To make sure that this is always the case (in the case that the stack trace depth increases), add a BUILD_BUG_ON() to test this.
