Subject: [PATCH 1/5] uprobes: kill pre_ssout(), introduce set_xol_ip()

No functional changes, preparation.

- Do not change regs->ip in pre_xol().

- Kill pre_ssout(), move its code into the single caller.

- Add the new __weak helper, set_xol_ip(). Currently it simply does
  regs->ip = utask->xol_vaddr.

- Change uprobe_notify_resume() to do set_xol_ip() after pre_xol().

IOW, before this patch uprobe_notify_resume() does:

	utask->state = UTASK_SSTEP;
	pre_ssout:
		xol_get_insn_slot();
		pre_xol();		// <----- sets regs->ip
	user_enable_single_step(current);

after:

	xol_get_insn_slot();
	pre_xol();		// <------ doesn't change regs->ip
	user_enable_single_step(current);
	utask->state = UTASK_SSTEP;
	set_xol_ip();		// <----- sets regs->ip
