[PATCH v4] tracing: remove igrab() iput() call from uprobes.c

[Song Liu]

Caller of uprobe_register is required to keep the inode and containing
mount point referenced.

There was misuse of igrab() in uprobes.c and trace_uprobe.c. This is
because igrab() will not prevent umount of the containing mount point.
To fix this, we added path to struct trace_uprobe, which keeps the inode
and containing mount reference.

For uprobes.c sisde, igrab() is not necessary. So we removed it and
added comments on requirements to callers of uprobe_register().
