uprobes: Add uprobe_task->dup_xol_work/dup_xol_addr
uprobe_task->vaddr is a bit strange. The generic code uses it only to pass the additional argument to arch_uprobe_pre_xol(), and since it is always equal to instruction_pointer() this looks even more strange. And both utask->vaddr and and utask->autask have the same scope, they only have the meaning when the task executes the probed insn out-of-line, so it is safe to reuse both in UTASK_RUNNING state. This all means that logically ->vaddr belongs to arch_uprobe_task and we should probably move it there, arch_uprobe_pre_xol() can record instruction_pointer() itself. OTOH, it is also used by uprobe_copy_process() and dup_xol_work() for another purpose, this doesn't look clean and doesn't allow to move this member into arch_uprobe_task. This patch adds the union with 2 anonymous structs into uprobe_task. The first struct is autask + vaddr, this way we "almost" move vaddr into autask. The second struct has 2 new members for uprobe_copy_process() paths: ->dup_xol_addr which can be used instead ->vaddr, and ->dup_xol_work which can be used to avoid kmalloc() and simplify the code. Note that this union will likely have another member(s), we need something like "private_data_for_handlers" so that the tracing handlers could use it to communicate with call_fetch() methods.
