tracing: Fix filter string testing

The filter string testing uses strncpy_from_kernel/user_nofault() to
retrieve the string to test the filter against. The if() statement was
incorrect as it considered 0 as a fault, when it is only negative that it
faulted.

Running the following commands:

  # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
  # echo "filename.ustring ~ \"/proc*\"" > events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/filter
  # echo 1 > events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/enable
  # ls /proc/$$/maps
  # cat trace

Would produce nothing, but with the fix it will produce something like:

      ls-1192    [007] .....  8169.828333: sys_openat(dfd: ffffffffffffff9c, filename: 7efc18359904, flags: 80000, mode: 0)
