[PATCH 41/74] perf probe: Allow of casting an array of char to string

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Hyeoncheol Lee <hyc.lee@xxxxxxxxx>

Before casting a type of a variable to string, convert_variable_type()
confirms that the type is a pointer or an array. then if it is a pointer
to char, it is casted to string.  but in case of an array of char, it
isn't
