Fix: notification capture: handle userspace strings

The "user" attribute (copy from userspace) is not applied to string
field capture within event notifications. This leads to copy of strings
from user-space (e.g. `filename` field from sys_open) to end up using
strlen/memcpy on user-space data. This can cause kernel OOPS due to
unhandled page faults, and it also allows reading kernel memory through
the event notification capture mechanism. As a result, the users within
the `tracing` group can read arbitrary kernel memory.
