selftests/bpf: Fix flaky test ptr_untrusted
Somehow recently I frequently hit the following test failure with either ./test_progs or ./test_progs-cpuv4: serial_test_ptr_untrusted:PASS:skel_open 0 nsec serial_test_ptr_untrusted:PASS:lsm_attach 0 nsec serial_test_ptr_untrusted:PASS:raw_tp_attach 0 nsec serial_test_ptr_untrusted:FAIL:cmp_tp_name unexpected cmp_tp_name: actual -115 != expected 0 torvalds#182 ptr_untrusted:FAIL Further investigation found the failure is due to bpf_probe_read_user_str() where reading user-level string attr->raw_tracepoint.name is not successfully, most likely due to the string itself still in disk and not populated into memory yet. One solution is do a printf() call of the string before doing bpf syscall which will force the raw_tracepoint.name into memory. But I think a more robust solution is to use bpf_copy_from_user() which is used in sleepable program and can tolerate page fault, and the fix here used the latter approach.
