uprobes/x86: Reimplement arch_uretprobe_is_alive()
Add the x86 specific version of arch_uretprobe_is_alive()
helper. It returns true if the stack frame mangled by
prepare_uretprobe() is still on stack. So if it returns false,
we know that the probed function has already returned.
We add the new return_instance->stack member and change the
generic code to initialize it in prepare_uretprobe, but it
should be equally useful for other architectures.
TODO: this assumes that the probed application can't use
multiple stacks (say sigaltstack). We will try to improve
this logic later.
