[PATCH RFC 4/6] arm64: Add kernel return probes support(kretprobes)

AArch64 ISA does not instructions to pop PC register value
from stack(like ARM v7 has ldmia {...,pc}) without using
one of the general purpose registers. This means return probes
cannot return to the actual return address directly without
modifying register context, and without trapping into debug exception.
So like many other architectures, we prepare a global routine
with NOPs, which serve as trampoline to hack away the
function return address, by placing an extra kprobe on the
trampoline entry.
The pre-handler of this special trampoline' kprobe execute return
probe handler functions and restore original return address in ELR_EL1,
this way, saved pt_regs still hold the original register context to be
carried back to the probed kernel function.
