tracing: Fix strncpy warning in trace_events_synth.c

0-day reported the strncpy error below:

../kernel/trace/trace_events_synth.c: In function 'last_cmd_set':
../kernel/trace/trace_events_synth.c:65:9: warning: 'strncpy' specified bound depends on the length o\
f the source argument [-Wstringop-truncation]
   65 |         strncpy(last_cmd, str, strlen(str) + 1);
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../kernel/trace/trace_events_synth.c:65:32: note: length computed here
   65 |         strncpy(last_cmd, str, strlen(str) + 1);
      |                                ^~~~~~~~~~~

There's no reason to use strncpy here, in fact there's no reason to do
anything but a simple kstrdup() (note we don't even need to check for
failure since last_cmod is expected to be either the last cmd string
or NULL, and the containing function is a void return).
