tracing: Use a copy of the va_list for __assign_vstr()
If an instance of tracing enables the same trace event as another
instance, or the top level instance, or even perf, then the va_list passed
into some tracepoints can be used more than once.
As va_list can only be traversed once, this can cause issues:
# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/qla2xxx/trace
cat-56106 [012] ..... 2419873.470098: ql_dbg_log: qla2xxx [0000:05:00.0]-1054:14: Entered (null).
cat-56106 [012] ..... 2419873.470101: ql_dbg_log: qla2xxx [0000:05:00.0]-1000:14: Entered ×+<96>²Ü<98>^H.
cat-56106 [012] ..... 2419873.470102: ql_dbg_log: qla2xxx [0000:05:00.0]-1006:14: Prepare to issue mbox cmd=0xde589000.
# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace
cat-56106 [012] ..... 2419873.470097: ql_dbg_log: qla2xxx [0000:05:00.0]-1054:14: Entered qla2x00_get_firmware_state.
cat-56106 [012] ..... 2419873.470100: ql_dbg_log: qla2xxx [0000:05:00.0]-1000:14: Entered qla2x00_mailbox_command.
cat-56106 [012] ..... 2419873.470102: ql_dbg_log: qla2xxx [0000:05:00.0]-1006:14: Prepare to issue mbox cmd=0x69.
The instance version is corrupted because the top level instance iterated
the va_list first.
Use va_copy() in the __assign_vstr() macro to make sure that each trace
event for each use case gets a fresh va_list.
