====================
bpf: Add multi uprobe link

hi,
this patchset is adding support to attach multiple uprobes and usdt probes
through new uprobe_multi link.

The current uprobe is attached through the perf event and attaching many
uprobes takes a lot of time because of that.

The main reason is that we need to install perf event for each probed function
and profile shows perf event installation (perf_install_in_context) as culprit.

The new uprobe_multi link just creates raw uprobes and attaches the bpf
program to them without perf event being involved.

In addition to being faster we also save file descriptors. For the current
uprobe attach we use extra perf event fd for each probed function. The new
link just need one fd that covers all the functions we are attaching to.

v7 changes:
  - fixed task release on error path and re-org the error
    path to be more straightforward [Yonghong]
  - re-organized uprobe_prog_run locking to follow general pattern
    and removed might_fault check as it's not needed in uprobe/task
    context [Yonghong]

There's support for bpftrace [2] and tetragon [1].
