Subject: [PATCH 2/2] kretprobe: manage instances with scalable object pool

Use new scalable object pool to manage kretprobe instances, replacing
the previous freelist, to improve scalability and throughput under
high workloads. The original freelist, a LIFO queue based on singly
linked list, is scaling poorly and NOT amenable to parallelization.
