tracing/histogram: Wrap remaining shell snippets in code blocks
Most shell command snippets (echo/cat) and their output are already in literal code blocks. However a few still isn't wrapped, in which the htmldocs output is ugly. Wrap the remaining unwrapped snippets, while also fix recent kernel test robot warnings.
