1. use copy_from_user() to fix: Internal error: Accessing user space mem… …

   …ory outside uaccess.h routines: 96000004 [derekmolloy#1] SMP
   
   when I using an ARM server to test on ebbchar, I found segment fault and had kern.log as follow. It is because the const char* buffer point to user space address. And the later version of kernel seem to not allowed it.
   
   My enviroment:
   
   ARM64 server
   Linux ubuntu 4.15.0-29-generic derekmolloy#31-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 17 15:41:03 UTC 2018 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux
   
   The log:
   
   EBBChar: Initializing the EBBChar LKM
   EBBChar: registered correctly with major number 240
   EBBChar: device class registered correctly
   EBBChar: device class created correctly
