Self-NACK.

Everything seems to work, including the additional cleanupe I sent,
but:

this can't help perf.

I never used it before so I naively thought that it writes to
tracing/uprobe_events and does perf_event_open(id) in the single
session, but this is not true.

I'll try to do something else. It seems that we can use
TRACE_REG_PERF_OPEN rather than TRACE_REG_PERF_REGISTER and
exploit event->ctx->task->mm to implement the pre-filtering...
