tracing: Have the user copy of synthetic event address use correct context

Browse Source 
commit 4f7969bcd6 upstream.

A synthetic event is created by the synthetic event interface that can
read both user or kernel address memory. In reality, it reads any
arbitrary memory location from within the kernel. If the address space is
in USER (where CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NON_OVERLAPPING_ADDRESS_SPACE is set) then
it uses strncpy_from_user_nofault() to copy strings otherwise it uses
strncpy_from_kernel_nofault().

But since both functions use the same variable there's no annotation to
what that variable is (ie. __user). This makes sparse complain.

Quiet sparse by typecasting the strncpy_from_user_nofault() variable to
a __user pointer.
