tracing: Do not reference char * as a string in histograms
commit
704adfb5a9978462cd861f170201ae2b5e3d3a80 upstream.
The histogram logic was allowing events with char * pointers to be used as
normal strings. But it was easy to crash the kernel with:
# echo 'hist:keys=filename' > events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/trigger
And open some files, and boom!
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address:
00007f2ced0c3280
#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page

Where it triggered a fault on strlen(key) where key was the filename.
The reason is that filename is a char * to user space, and the histogram
code just blindly dereferenced it, with obvious bad results.
I originally tried to use strncpy_from_user/kernel_nofault() but found
that there's other places that its dereferenced and not worth the effort.
Just do not allow "char *" to act like strings.
