tracing: Fix tracing_marker may trigger page fault during preempt_disable

Browse source 
Both tracing_mark_write and tracing_mark_raw_write call
__copy_from_user_inatomic during preempt_disable. But in some case,
__copy_from_user_inatomic may trigger page fault, and will call schedule()
subtly. And if a task is migrated to other cpu, the following warning will
be trigger:
        if (RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer,
                       !local_read(&cpu_buffer->committing)))

An example can illustrate this issue:

process flow						CPU
---------------------------------------------------------------------

tracing_mark_raw_write():				cpu:0
   ...
   ring_buffer_lock_reserve():				cpu:0
      ...
      cpu = raw_smp_processor_id()			cpu:0
      cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu]			cpu:0
      ...
   ...
   __copy_from_user_inatomic():				cpu:0
      ...
      # page fault
      do_mem_abort():					cpu:0
         ...
         # Call schedule
         schedule()					cpu:0
	 ...
   # the task schedule to cpu1
   __buffer_unlock_commit():				cpu:1
      ...
      ring_buffer_unlock_commit():			cpu:1
	 ...
	 cpu = raw_smp_processor_id()			cpu:1
	 cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu]		cpu:1

As shown above, the process will acquire cpuid twice and the return values
are not the same.

To fix this problem using copy_from_user_nofault instead of
__copy_from_user_inatomic, as the former performs 'access_ok' before
copying.
