Subject: [PATCH 4/7] uprobes: Do not play with utask in xol_get_insn_slot()

pre_ssout()->xol_get_insn_slot() path is confusing and buggy. This patch
cleanups the code, the next one fixes the bug.

Change xol_get_insn_slot() to only allocate the slot and do nothing more,
move the initialization of utask->xol_vaddr/vaddr into pre_ssout().
