Fix buffer overflow observed when running perf test.

The overflow is when trying to evaluate "1ULL << (64 - 1)" which
is resulting in -9223372036854775808 which overflows the 20 character
buffer.

If is possible this bug has been reported before but I still don't
see any fix checked in:

I have to say I've let this slide and it is not the first time a patch
went out with this fix. But this one has the correct fix because we
should use a buffer with a multiple of 4. Anyway, Tony I believe was
the first to report this anyway.

For reference we have:

I first heard about Tony's complaint on a post to linux-perf-users on Jan 18.

But then we had after that:

 Michael Sartain reported it on 1/24 (and fixed by Tzvetomir)
 https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-devel/20190125102014.19600-1-tstoyanov@vmware.com/
 
It was later fixed again by Mathias Krause
 https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-devel/20190223122404.21137-1-minipli@googlemail.com/

But since Tony was first to report it, and we discussed that it should
be 24 bytes, I would say this is the patch to take.

Again, sorry for not getting this acknowledged earlier and everyone doing
the same thing multiple times. :-/

Arnaldo, please take this patch. But also add:

Reported-by: Michael Sartain <mikesart@fastmail.com>
Reported-by: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com>

Thanks,

-- Steve

Some more research, an approximation, adding:

Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>
Fixes: f7d82350e597 ("tools/events: Add files to create libtraceevent.a")

That is the 'git blame' entry for when that line was added with sizeof
== 20
