Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 3/6] uretprobes: generalize xol_get_insn_slot()

  Generalize xol_take_insn_slot() to enable more consumers of the
function, e.g. trampoline implementation for return probes.

  The first time a uprobe with return consumer is hit for a process, a
trampoline slot is obtained in the xol_area and initialized with a
breakpoint instruction. This slot is subsequently used by all
uretprobes.

v3:
 - unified xol_get_insn_slot(), thus get rid of xol_get_trampoline_slot()
