uprobes/x86: Xol should send SIGTRAP if X86_EFLAGS_TF was set

Browse source

arch_uprobe_disable_step() correctly preserves X86_EFLAGS_TF and
returns to user-mode. But this means the application gets SIGTRAP
only after the next insn.

This means that UPROBE_CLEAR_TF logic is not really right. _enable
should only record the state of X86_EFLAGS_TF, and _disable should
check it separately from UPROBE_FIX_SETF.

Remove arch_uprobe_task->restore_flags, add ->saved_tf instead, and
change enable/disable accordingly. This assumes that the probed insn
was not trapped, see the next patch.

arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() logic has the same problem, change it to
check X86_EFLAGS_TF and send SIGTRAP as well. We will cleanup this
all after we fold enable/disable_step into pre/post_hol hooks.

Note: send_sig(SIGTRAP) is not actually right, we need send_sigtrap().
But this needs more changes, handle_swbp() does the same and this is
equally wrong.
