perf: tracing: Have perf system calls read user space

Browse source 
Allow some of the system call events to read user space buffers. Instead
of just showing the pointer into user space, allow perf events to also
record the content of those pointers. For example:

  # perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_openat ls /usr/bin
  [..]
  # perf script
