tracing: probes: Fix a possible race in trace_probe_log APIs

Since the shared trace_probe_log variable can be accessed and
modified via probe event create operation of kprobe_events,
uprobe_events, and dynamic_events, it should be protected.
In the dynamic_events, all operations are serialized by
`dyn_event_ops_mutex`. But kprobe_events and uprobe_events
interfaces are not serialized.

To solve this issue, introduces dyn_event_create(), which runs
create() operation under the mutex, for kprobe_events and
uprobe_events. This also uses lockdep to check the mutex is
held when using trace_probe_log* APIs.

tracing/probes: support '%pD' type for print struct file's name

As like '%pd' type, this patch supports print type '%pD' for print file's
name. For example "name=$arg1:%pD" casts the `$arg1` as (struct file*),
dereferences the "file.f_path.dentry.d_name.name" field and stores it to
"name" argument as a kernel string.
Here is an example:
[tracing]# echo 'p:testprobe vfs_read name=$arg1:%pD' > kprobe_event
[tracing]# echo 1 > events/kprobes/testprobe/enable
[tracing]# grep -q "1" events/kprobes/testprobe/enable

tracing/probes: support '%pd' type for print struct dentry's name

During fault locating, the file name needs to be printed based on the
dentry address. The offset needs to be calculated each time, which
is troublesome. Similar to printk, kprobe support print type '%pd' for
print dentry's name. For example "name=$arg1:%pd" casts the `$arg1`
as (struct dentry *), dereferences the "d_name.name" field and stores
it to "name" argument as a kernel string.
Here is an example:

[tracing]# echo 1 > events/kprobes/testprobe/enable

bitops: make BYTES_TO_BITS() treewide-available

Avoid open-coding that simple expression each time by moving
BYTES_TO_BITS() from the probes code to <linux/bitops.h> to export
it to the rest of the kernel.
Simplify the macro while at it. `BITS_PER_LONG / sizeof(long)` always
equals to %BITS_PER_BYTE, regardless of the target architecture.
Do the same for the tools ecosystem as well (incl. its version of
bitops.h). The previous implementation had its implicit type of long,
while the new one is int, so adjust the format literal accordingly in
the perf code.

tracing/probes: Support $argN in return probe (kprobe and fprobe)

Support accessing $argN in the return probe events. This will help users to
record entry data in function return (exit) event for simplfing the function
entry/exit information in one event, and record the result values (e.g.
allocated object/initialized object) at function exit.

For example, if we have a function `int init_foo(struct foo *obj, int param)`
sometimes we want to check how `obj` is initialized. In such case, we can
define a new return event like below;

# echo 'r init_foo retval=$retval param=$arg2 field1=+0($arg1)' >> kprobe_events

Thus it records the function parameter `param` and its result `obj->field1`
(the dereference will be done in the function exit timing) value at once.

This also support fprobe, BTF args and'$arg*'. So if CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF
is enabled, we can trace both function parameters and the return value
by following command.

# echo 'f target_function%return $arg* $retval' >> dynamic_events

tracing/probes: Move finding func-proto API and getting func-param API to trace_btf

Move generic function-proto find API and getting function parameter API
to BTF library code from trace_probe.c. This will avoid redundant efforts
on different feature.

tracing/probes: Support BTF argument on module functions

Since the btf returned from bpf_get_btf_vmlinux() only covers functions in
the vmlinux, BTF argument is not available on the functions in the modules.
Use bpf_find_btf_id() instead of bpf_get_btf_vmlinux()+btf_find_name_kind()
so that BTF argument can find the correct struct btf and btf_type in it.
With this fix, fprobe events can use `$arg*` on module functions as below

# grep nf_log_ip_packet /proc/kallsyms
ffffffffa0005c00 t nf_log_ip_packet [nf_log_syslog]
ffffffffa0005bf0 t __pfx_nf_log_ip_packet [nf_log_syslog]
# echo 'f nf_log_ip_packet $arg*' > dynamic_events
# cat dynamic_events
f:fprobes/nf_log_ip_packet__entry nf_log_ip_packet net=net pf=pf hooknum=hooknum skb=skb in=in out=out loginfo=loginfo prefix=prefix

To support the module's btf which is removable, the struct btf needs to be
ref-counted. So this also records the btf in the traceprobe_parse_context
and returns the refcount when the parse has done.

Revert "tracing: Add "(fault)" name injection to kernel probes"

This reverts commit 2e9906f84fc7c99388bb7123ade167250d50f1c0.

It was turned out that commit 2e9906f84fc7 ("tracing: Add "(fault)"
name injection to kernel probes") did not work correctly and probe
events still show just '(fault)' (instead of '"(fault)"'). Also,
current '(fault)' is more explicit that it faulted.

This also moves FAULT_STRING macro to trace.h so that synthetic
event can keep using it, and uses it in trace_probe.c too.

tracing/probes: Fix tracepoint event with $arg* to fetch correct argument

To hide the first dummy 'data' argument on the tracepoint probe events,
the BTF argument array was modified (skip the first argument for tracepoint),
but the '$arg*' meta argument parser missed that.

Fix to increment the argument index if it is tracepoint probe. And decrement
the index when searching the type of the argument.
