tracing: Have the histogram compare functions convert to u64 first
The compare functions of the histogram code would be specific for the size of the value being compared (byte, short, int, long long). It would reference the value from the array via the type of the compare, but the value was stored in a 64 bit number. This is fine for little endian machines, but for big endian machines, it would end up comparing zeros or all ones (depending on the sign) for anything but 64 bit numbers. To fix this, first derference the value as a u64 then convert it to the type being compared.
