Subject: [PATCH 4/5] uprobes: Change uprobe_copy_process() to dup
	return_instances

uprobe_copy_process() assumes that the new child doesn't need
->utask, it should be allocated by demand.

But this is not true if the forking task has the pending ret-
probes, the child should report them as well and thus it needs
the copy of parent's ->return_instances chain. Otherwise the
child crashes when it returns from the probed function.

Note: this change alone doesn't fix the problem, see the next
change.
