perf-probe: Add user memory access attribute support

Browse source 
Add user memory access attribute for kprobe event arguments.
If a given 'local variable' is in user-space, User can
specify memory access method by '@user' suffix. This is
not only for string but also for data structure.

If we access a field of data structure in user memory from
kernel on some arch, it will fail. e.g.

 perf probe -a "sched_setscheduler param->sched_priority"

This will fail to access the "param->sched_priority" because
the param is __user pointer. Instead, we can now specify
@user suffix for such argument.

 perf probe -a "sched_setscheduler param->sched_priority@user"

Note that kernel memory access with "@user" must always fail
on any arch.
