Subject: [PATCH 09/10] uprobes: Change prepare_uretprobe() to (try to)
	flush the dead frames

Change prepare_uretprobe() to flush the !arch_uretprobe_is_alive()
return_instance's. This is not needed correctness-wise, but can help
to avoid the failure caused by MAX_URETPROBE_DEPTH.

Note: in this case arch_uretprobe_is_alive() can be false positive,
the stack can grow after longjmp(). Unfortunately, the kernel can't
100% solve this problem, but see the next patch.
