tracing/user_events: Limit max fault-in attempts
When event enablement changes, user_events attempts to update a bit in the user process. If a fault is hit, an attempt to fault-in the page and the write is retried if the page made it in. While this normally requires a couple attempts, it is possible a bad user process could attempt to cause infinite loops. Ensure fault-in attempts either sync or async are limited to a max of 10 attempts for each update. When the max is hit, return -EFAULT so another attempt is not made in all cases.
