Steven Rostedt 011ea0501d tracing: Display some syscall arrays as strings
Some of the system calls that read a fixed length of memory from the user
space address are not arrays but strings. Take a bit away from the nb_args
field in the syscall meta data to use as a flag to denote that the system
call's user_arg_size is being used as a string. The nb_args should never
be more than 6, so 7 bits is plenty to hold that number. When the
user_arg_is_str flag that, when set, will display the data array from the
user space address as a string and not an array.

This will allow the output to look like this:

  sys_sethostname(name: 0x5584310eb2a0 "debian", len: 6)
