Subject: [PATCH 2/7] uprobes: Fold xol_alloc_area() into get_xol_area()

Currently only xol_get_insn_slot() does get_xol_area() + xol_alloc_area(),
but this will have more users and we do not want to copy-and-paste this
code. This patch simply moves xol_alloc_area() into get_xol_area() to
simplify the current and future code.
