kretprobe: Prevent triggering kretprobe from within kprobe_flush_task

Ziqian reported lockup when adding retprobe on _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.
My test was also able to trigger lockdep output:

 ============================================
 WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
 5.6.0-rc6+ #6 Not tainted
 --------------------------------------------
 sched-messaging/2767 is trying to acquire lock:
 ffffffff9a492798 (&(kretprobe_table_locks[i].lock)){-.-.}, at: kretprobe_hash_lock+0x52/0xa0

 but task is already holding lock:
 ffffffff9a491a18 (&(kretprobe_table_locks[i].lock)){-.-.}, at: kretprobe_trampoline+0x0/0x50

 other info that might help us debug this:
  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0
        ----
   lock(&(kretprobe_table_locks[i].lock));
   lock(&(kretprobe_table_locks[i].lock));

  *** DEADLOCK ***

  May be due to missing lock nesting notation

 1 lock held by sched-messaging/2767:

The code within the kretprobe handler checks for probe reentrancy,
so we won't trigger any _raw_spin_lock_irqsave probe in there.

The problem is in outside kprobe_flush_task, where we call:

  kprobe_flush_task
    kretprobe_table_lock
      raw_spin_lock_irqsave
        _raw_spin_lock_irqsave

where _raw_spin_lock_irqsave triggers the kretprobe and installs
kretprobe_trampoline handler on _raw_spin_lock_irqsave return.

The kretprobe_trampoline handler is then executed with already
locked kretprobe_table_locks, and first thing it does is to
lock kretprobe_table_locks ;-) the whole lockup path like:

  kprobe_flush_task
    kretprobe_table_lock
      raw_spin_lock_irqsave
        _raw_spin_lock_irqsave ---> probe triggered, kretprobe_trampoline installed

        ---> kretprobe_table_locks locked

        kretprobe_trampoline
          trampoline_handler
            kretprobe_hash_lock(current, &head, &flags);  <--- deadlock

Adding kprobe_busy_begin/end helpers that mark code with fake
probe installed to prevent triggering of another kprobe within
this code.

Using these helpers in kprobe_flush_task, so the probe recursion
protection check is hit and the probe is never set to prevent
above lockup.
