    tracing: Fix possible out of bounds memory access when parsing enums
    
    The code that replaces the enum names with the enum values in the
    tracepoints' format files could possible miss the end of string nul
    character. This was caused by processing things like backslashes, quotes
    and other tokens. After processing the tokens, a check for the nul
    character needed to be done before continuing the loop, because the loop
    incremented the pointer before doing the check, which could bypass the nul
    character.
