Steven Rostedt 694b3f6fe0 tracing: Rename trace_array field max_buffer to snapshot_buffer
When tracing was first added, there were latency tracers that would take a
snapshot of the current trace when a new max latency was hit. This
snapshot buffer was called "max_buffer". Since then, a snapshot feature
was added that allowed user space or event triggers to trigger a snapshot
of the current buffer using the same max_buffer of the trace_array.

As this snapshot buffer now has a more generic use case, calling it
"max_buffer" is confusing. Rename it to snapshot_buffer.
