Subject: [PATCH 4/5] uprobes: teach set_xol_ip() to use uprobe_xol_slots[]

Change set_xol_ip() to use uprobe_xol_slots[] per-cpu array to
"allocate" the insn slot. We do not care if the task migrates to
another CPU before executing xol insn, set_xol_ip() will be called
again by uprobe_switch_to(). Likewise, we do not care if the task
is simply preempted or sleeps.

IOW, uprobe_xol_slots[CPU] is "owned" by cpu_curr(CPU).

This makes xol_get_insn_slot/xol_free_insn_slot unnecessary, but
uprobe_notify_resume() should set utask->vaddr. The patch updates
the callers but doesn't remove this code to simplify the review.
