Description: uprobes: fix SIGSEGVs with setjmp/longjmp
Symptom:
Setting a user space return probe on a function that does not
return because of a longjmp call may cause SIGSEGV or SIGILL.
Problem:
Userspace can do whatever it wants with its stack. Especially
stack modifications performed with longjmp cannot be handled 100%
correctly within the uprobes kernel part, which may lead to user
space observed crashed.
Solution:
Implement arch_uretprobe_is_alive() which improves the situation
a lot and works for many situations.
