commit 6fcd5ddc3b1467b3586972ef785d0d926ae4cdf4 upstream.

Hagen reported broken strings in python3 tracepoint scripts:

make PYTHON=python3
perf record -e sched:sched_switch -a -- sleep 5
perf script --gen-script py
perf script -s ./perf-script.py

[..]
sched__sched_switch 7 563231.759525792 0 swapper prev_comm=bytearray(b'swapper/7\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'), prev_pid=0, prev_prio=120, prev_state=, next_comm=bytearray(b'mutex-thread-co\x00'),

The problem is in the is_printable_array function that does not take the
zero byte into account and claim such string as not printable, so the
code will create byte array instead of string.

Committer testing:

After this fix:
