Oleg Nesterov f42d24a1d2 uprobes/perf: Teach trace_uprobe/perf code to use UPROBE_HANDLER_REMOVE
Change uprobe_trace_func() and uprobe_perf_func() to return "int". Change
uprobe_dispatcher() to return "trace_ret | perf_ret" although this is not
needed, currently TP_FLAG_TRACE/TP_FLAG_PROFILE are mutually exclusive.

The only functional change is that uprobe_perf_func() checks the filtering
too and returns UPROBE_HANDLER_REMOVE if nobody wants to trace current.

Testing:

	# perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 syscall

	# perf record -e probe_libc:syscall -i perl -e 'fork; syscall -1 for 1..10; wait'

	# perf report --show-total-period
		100.00%            10     perl  libc-2.8.so    [.] syscall

Before this patch:

	# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_profile
		/lib/libc.so.6 syscall				20

A child process doesn't have a counter, but still it hits this breakoint
"copied" by dup_mmap().

After the patch:

	# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_profile
		/lib/libc.so.6 syscall				11

The child process hits this int3 only once and does unapply_uprobe().
