[PATCH RESEND] kprobe: Use percpu counter to collect nhit statistics

[Martin KaFai Lau]

When doing ebpf+kprobe on some hot TCP functions (e.g.
tcp_rcv_established), the kprobe_dispatcher shows up in 'perf report'.

In kprobe_dispatcher(), there is a lot of cache bouncing
in 'tk->nhit++'.  'tk->nhit' and 'tk->tp.flags' also share
the same cacheline.

perf report (cycles:pp):
8.30%  ipv4_dst_check
4.74%  copy_user_enhanced_fast_string
3.93%  dst_release
2.80%  tcp_v4_rcv
2.31%  queued_spin_lock_slowpath
2.30%  _raw_spin_lock
1.88%  mlx4_en_process_rx_cq
1.84%  eth_get_headlen
1.81%  ip_rcv_finish
~~~~
1.71%  kprobe_dispatcher
~~~~
1.55%  mlx4_en_xmit
1.09%  __probe_kernel_read

perf report after patch:
9.15%  ipv4_dst_check
5.00%  copy_user_enhanced_fast_string
4.12%  dst_release
2.96%  tcp_v4_rcv
2.50%  _raw_spin_lock
2.39%  queued_spin_lock_slowpath
2.11%  eth_get_headlen
2.03%  mlx4_en_process_rx_cq
1.69%  mlx4_en_xmit
1.19%  ip_rcv_finish
1.12%  __probe_kernel_read
1.02%  ehci_hcd_cleanup
