This passes kernel pointers to copyout because debugfs is kind of broken due to
quirks in how linux file operations are implemented.

This is not actually a __user pointer.  Note that simple_attr_read/write use plain pointers.
The only invocations of this function are in debugfs_fill:

	rc = -ENODEV;
	if (uio->uio_rw == UIO_READ && d->dm_fops->read) {
		rc = -ENOMEM;
		buf = (char *) malloc(sb->s_size, M_DFSINT, M_ZERO | M_NOWAIT);
		if (buf != NULL) {
			rc = d->dm_fops->read(&lf, buf, sb->s_size, &off);
			if (rc > 0)
				sbuf_bcpy(sb, buf, strlen(buf));

			free(buf, M_DFSINT);
		}
	} else if (uio->uio_rw == UIO_WRITE && d->dm_fops->write) {
		sbuf_finish(sb);
		rc = d->dm_fops->write(&lf, sbuf_data(sb), sbuf_len(sb), &off);
	}

This means you can't use simple_read_from_buffer() here as it is a wrapper around
copyout.  At least some architectures fail copyout calls where the user pointer is
a kernel pointer (e.g. arm64 and RISC-V).  I haven't looked if amd64 has the
misfeature of letting it work.  I'll have to fix this for CheriBSD downstream, but
I'll try to post a review using an inlined version of simple_read_from_buffer that
just uses memcpy directly.
