tracing: Rebuild full_name on each hist_field_name() call
hist_field_name() uses a static MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL buffer for fully qualified variable-reference names, but it currently appends into that buffer with strcat() without rebuilding it first. As a result, repeated calls append a new "system.event.field" name onto the previous one, which can eventually run past the end of full_name. Build the name with snprintf() on each call and return NULL if the fully qualified name does not fit in MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL.
