tracing/uprobes: Fetch args before reserving a ring buffer
Fetching from user space should be done in a non-atomic context. So use a per-cpu buffer and copy its content to the ring buffer atomically. Note that we can migrate during accessing user memory thus use a per-cpu mutex to protect concurrent accesses. This is needed since we'll be able to fetch args from an user memory which can be swapped out. Before that uprobes could fetch args from registers only which saved in a kernel space. While at it, use __get_data_size() and store_trace_args() to reduce code duplication. And add struct uprobe_cpu_buffer and its helpers as suggested by Oleg.
