uprobes/x86: Reimplement arch_uretprobe_is_alive()
Add the x86 specific version of arch_uretprobe_is_alive() helper. It returns true if the stack frame mangled by prepare_uretprobe() is still on stack. So if it returns false, we know that the probed function has already returned. We add the new return_instance->stack member and change the generic code to initialize it in prepare_uretprobe, but it should be equally useful for other architectures. TODO: this assumes that the probed application can't use multiple stacks (say sigaltstack). We will try to improve this logic later.
