Improve uprobes performance by adding 'pre-filtering' support,
by Oleg Nesterov:

# time perl -e 'syscall -1 for 1..100_000'
real    0m0.040s
user    0m0.027s
sys     0m0.010s

# perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 syscall
# perf record -e probe_libc:syscall sleep 100 &

Before this series:

# time perl -e 'syscall -1 for 1..100_000'
real    0m1.714s
user    0m0.103s
sys     0m1.607s

After:

# time perl -e 'syscall -1 for 1..100_000'
real    0m0.037s
user    0m0.013s
sys     0m0.023s
