tracing: Add "%s" check in test_event_printk()

The test_event_printk() code makes sure that when a trace event is
registered, any dereferenced pointers in from the event's TP_printk() are
pointing to content in the ring buffer. But currently it does not handle
"%s", as there's cases where the string pointer saved in the ring buffer
points to a static string in the kernel that will never be freed. As that
is a valid case, the pointer needs to be checked at runtime.

Currently the runtime check is done via trace_check_vprintf(), but to not
have to replicate everything in vsnprintf() it does some logic with the
va_list that may not be reliable across architectures. In order to get rid
of that logic, more work in the test_event_printk() needs to be done. Some
of the strings can be validated at this time when it is obvious the string
is valid because the string will be saved in the ring buffer content.

Do all the validation of strings in the ring buffer at boot in
test_event_printk(), and make sure that the field of the strings that
point into the kernel are accessible. This will allow adding checks at
runtime that will validate the fields themselves and not rely on paring
the TP_printk() format at runtime.
