Subject: [for-next][PATCH 06/10] tracing: Increase size of trace_marker_raw to max ring buffer entry

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

There's no reason to give an arbitrary limit to the size of a raw trace
marker. Just let it be as big as the size that is allowed by the ring
buffer itself.

And there's also no reason to artificially break up the write to
TRACE_BUF_SIZE, as that's not even used.
