Support for TRACE_DEFINE_SIZEOF() has been added to the kernel.
Lets document the use of the new macro and correct a couple of
minor spelling mistakes.

Break this up into two patches please. One trivial one that corrects
the spelling mistakes, and the other one that adds the DEFINE_SIZEOF()
macro.

Thanks!
