[PATCH v5 1/5] trace/kprobes: fix check for kretprobe offset within function entry

perf specifies an offset from _text and since this offset is fed
directly into the arch-specific helper, kprobes tracer rejects
installation of kretprobes through perf. Fix this by looking up the
actual offset from a function for the specified sym+offset.

Refactor and reuse existing routines to limit code duplication -- we
repurpose kprobe_addr() for determining final kprobe address and we
split out the function entry offset determination into a separate
generic helper.

Before patch:

  naveen at ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo ./perf probe -v do_open%return
  probe-definition(0): do_open%return
  symbol:do_open file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:1 lazy:(null)
  0 arguments
  Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long)
  Using /boot/vmlinux for symbols
  Open Debuginfo file: /boot/vmlinux
  Try to find probe point from debuginfo.
  Matched function: do_open [2d0c7ff]
  Probe point found: do_open+0
  Matched function: do_open [35d76dc]
  found inline addr: 0xc0000000004ba9c4
  Failed to find "do_open%return",
   because do_open is an inlined function and has no return point.
  An error occurred in debuginfo analysis (-22).
  Trying to use symbols.

  naveen at ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ dmesg | tail
  <snip>
  [   33.568656] Given offset is not valid for return probe.

After patch:

  naveen at ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo ./perf probe -v do_open%return
  probe-definition(0): do_open%return
  symbol:do_open file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:1 lazy:(null)

  Writing event: r:probe/do_open _text+4469808
  Writing event: r:probe/do_open_1 _text+4956344
  Added new events:
    probe:do_open        (on do_open%return)
    probe:do_open_1      (on do_open%return)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	  perf record -e probe:do_open_1 -aR sleep 1
