This reverts 60be76eeabb3d ("tracing: Add size check when printing
trace_marker output"). The only reason the precision check was added
was because of a bug that miscalculated the write size of the string into
the ring buffer and it truncated it removing the terminating nul byte. On
reading the trace it crashed the kernel. But this was due to the bug in
the code that happened during development and should never happen in
practice. If anything, the precision can hide bugs where the string in the
ring buffer isn't nul terminated and it will not be checked.
