tracing: Fix TASK_COMM_LEN in trace event format file

After commit 3087c61 ("tools/testing/selftests/bpf: replace open-coded 16 with TASK_COMM_LEN"),
the content of the format file under
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/task/task_newtask was changed from
  field:char comm[16];    offset:12;    size:16;    signed:0;
to
  field:char comm[TASK_COMM_LEN];    offset:12;    size:16;    signed:0;

John reported that this change breaks older versions of perfetto.
Then Mathieu pointed out that this behavioral change was caused by the
use of __stringify(_len), which happens to work on macros, but not on enum
labels. And he also gave the suggestion on how to fix it:
  :One possible solution to make this more robust would be to extend
  :struct trace_event_fields with one more field that indicates the length
  :of an array as an actual integer, without storing it in its stringified
  :form in the type, and do the formatting in f_show where it belongs.

The result as follows after this change,
$ cat /sys/kernel/tracing/events/task/task_newtask/format
        field:char comm[16];    offset:12;      size:16;        signed:0;
