David Carlier 576ec047d2 tracing: Avoid NULL return from hist_field_name() on truncation ...

hist_field_name() returns "" everywhere except the fully-qualified
VAR_REF/EXPR case, where snprintf() truncation returns NULL early
and bypasses the bottom NULL->"" guard. Callers don't expect NULL:
strcat(expr, hist_field_name(field, 0)) at trace_events_hist.c:1758
and the strcmp() in the sort-key match loop at :4804 both deref it.

system and event_name are bounded by MAX_EVENT_NAME_LEN, but the
field name on a VAR_REF is kstrdup'd from a histogram variable
name parsed out of the trigger string and has no length cap, so
a long enough var name in a fully qualified reference can reach
the truncation path.

Keep the length check but leave field_name as "" on overflow.
