[PATCH 3/7] arm64: introduce get_swbp_insn() instead of static assignment

In uprobes generic code, an arch specific software breakpoint instruction
is statically assigned with a #define statement. It does not allow to examine
the context and set the proper arch on runtime, which is the case of uprobing
either a 32 or 64 bit app on a 64-bit kernel. Introduce get_swbp_insn() with
weak attribute that will allow to be redefined in ARM64 uprobes code.
