Improve substring kernel performance

Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.

Currently in substring kernel, we use a Vec to put substrings and then copy strings from it to make a buffer. We can directly write into a buffer using MutableBuffer to avoid memory copying.
