[PATCH v5 2/9] rv: Add generic uprobe infrastructure for RV monitors

[wen.yang@linux.dev]

From: Wen Yang <wen.yang@linux.dev>

Monitors that instrument user-space function boundaries need to resolve
paths, register uprobes, and deregister them safely.  Provide a thin
wrapper so monitors share a single implementation of this boilerplate.

struct rv_uprobe embeds struct uprobe_consumer directly, avoiding a
separate heap allocation per probe.  The struct holds a struct path for
the probed binary so that the inode and its mount remain referenced for
the full uprobe lifetime; uprobe_register() does not take its own
reference to the inode.  The path is released in
rv_uprobe_unregister_nosync() after the consumer has been removed.

rv_uprobe_sync() calls uprobe_unregister_sync() which performs
synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace(), waiting for all rcu_read_lock_trace()
readers (handler_chain()) to complete on all CPUs before returning;
the caller may then free the containing struct.

The API provides register, synchronous and nosync unregister, a global
handler barrier (rv_uprobe_sync), and an active-state predicate.
