tracing/function-graph: Use correct string size for snprintf
The nsecs_str string is a local variable defined as:
char nsecs_str[5];
It is possible for the snprintf call to use a size value larger than the size of the string. This should not cause a buffer overrun as it is written now due to the value for the string format "%03lu" can not be larger than 1000. However, this change makes it correct. By making the size correct we guard against potential future changes that could actually cause a buffer overrun.

[ added 'UL' to number 8 to fix gcc warning comparing it to sizeof() ]
