uprobes/core: Clean up, refactor and improve the code

Make the uprobes code readable to me:

 - improve the Kconfig text so that a mere mortal gets some idea
   what CONFIG_UPROBES=y is really about

 - do trivial renames to standardize around the uprobes_*() namespace

 - clean up and simplify various code flow details

 - separate basic blocks of functionality

 - line break artifact and white space related removal

 - use standard local varible definition blocks

 - use vertical spacing to make things more readable

 - remove unnecessary volatile

 - restructure comment blocks to make them more uniform and
   more readable in general

-	  Uprobes enables kernel subsystems to establish probepoints
-	  in user applications and execute handler functions when
-	  the probepoints are hit.
+	  Uprobes is the user-space counterpart to kprobes: they
+	  enable instrumentation applications (such as 'perf probe')
+	  to establish unintrusive probes in user-space binaries and
+	  libraries, by executing handler functions when the probes
+	  are hit by user-space applications.
+
+	  ( These probes come in the form of single-byte breakpoints,
+	    managed by the kernel and kept transparent to the probed
+	    application. )
 
 	  If in doubt, say "N".
