user_events: Add trace event call as root for low permission cases

Tracefs by default is locked down heavily. System operators can open up
some files, such as user_events to a broader set of users. These users
do not have access within tracefs beyond just the user_event files. Due
to this restriction the trace_add_event_call/remove calls will silently
fail since the caller does not have permissions to create directories.

To fix this trace_add_event_call/remove calls will be issued with
override creds of the global root UID. Creds are reverted immediately
afterward.
