uprobes/core: Optimize probe hits with the help of a counter

Maintain a per-mm counter: number of uprobes that are inserted
on this process address space.

This counter can be used at probe hit time to determine if we
need a lookup in the uprobes rbtree. Everytime a probe gets
inserted successfully, the probe count is incremented and
everytime a probe gets removed, the probe count is decremented.

The new uprobe_munmap hook ensures the count is correct on a
unmap or remap of a region. We expect that once a
uprobe_munmap() is called, the vma goes away.  So
uprobe_unregister() finding a probe to unregister would either
mean unmap event hasnt occurred yet or a mmap event on the same
executable file occured after a unmap event.

Additionally, uprobe_mmap hook now also gets called:

 a. on every executable vma that is COWed at fork.
 b. a vma of interest is newly mapped; breakpoint insertion also
    happens at the required address.

On process creation, make sure the probes count in the child is
set correctly.

Special cases that are taken care include:

 a. mremap
 b. VM_DONTCOPY vmas on fork()
 c. insertion/removal races in the parent during fork().
