This patch removes software emulation or simulation for most of probed
instructions. If the instruction doesn't use PC relative addressing,
it will be translated into following instructions in the restore code
in code template:
ldmia {r0 - r14} // restore all instruction except PC
<instruction> // direct execute the probed instruction
b next_insn // branch to next instruction.

This patch utilizes the previously introduced checker to check
register usage for probed ARM instruction and saves it in a mask.
A further patch will use such information to avoid simulation or
emulation.

This patch prohibits probing instructions for which the stack
requirements are unable to be determined statically. Some test cases
are found not work again after the modification, this patch also
removes them.

This patch uses the previously introduced checker functionality on
store instructions to record their stack consumption information to
arch_probes_insn.

Because the common underlying code for ARM kprobes and uprobes needs
to share a common architecrure-specific context structure, and because
the generic kprobes include file insists on defining this to a dummy
structure when kprobes is not configured, a new common structure is
required which can exist when uprobes is configured without kprobes.
In this case kprobes will define a dummy structure, but without the
define aliasing the two structure tags it will not affect uprobes and
the shared probes code.

Any more ARM kprobes/uprobes symbols which have "kprobe" in the name must be
changed to the more generic "probes" or other non-kprobes specific symbol.

Change the generic ARM probes code to pass in the opcode and architecture-specific
structure separately instead of using struct kprobe, so we do not pollute
code being used only for uprobes or other non-kprobes instruction
interpretation.

Move the arm version of the kprobes instruction parsing code into more generic
files from where it can be used by uprobes and possibly other subsystems. The
symbol names will be made more generic in a subsequent part of this patchset.
