tracing: Allow events to have NULL strings
If an TRACE_EVENT() uses __assign_str() or __get_str on a NULL pointer
then the following oops will happen:

New tracepoints have been added that have allowed for NULL pointers
being assigned to strings. To fix this, change the TRACE_EVENT() code
to check for NULL and if it is, it will assign "(null)" to it instead
(similar to what glibc printf does).
