[GIT PULL] probes: Update for v6.18

Hi Linus,

Probes for v6.18:

- fprobe: Performance enhancement of the fprobe using rhltable
. fprobe: use rhltable for fprobe_ip_table. The fprobe IP table has
been converted to use an rhltable for improved performance when
dealing with a large number of probed functions.
. Fix a suspicious RCU usage warning of the above change in the
fprobe entry handler.
. Remove an unused local variable of the above change.
. Fix to initialize fprobe_ip_table in core_initcall().

- wprobe: Introduce a watchpoint probe event based on hw_breakpoint.
. Add a new watchpoint probe that uses hardware breakpoints to
monitor memory accesses. This allows for tracing memory reads
and writes at specified addresses.
. Add a basic add/remove test case for wprobe.
. Add a syntax test case for wprobe.

- probes: Cleanup probe event subsystems.
. uprobe/eprobe: Allocate traceprobe_parse_context per probe instead
of each probe argument parsing. This reduce memory allocation/free
of temporary working memory.
. uprobes: Cleanup code using __free().
. eprobes: Cleanup code using __free().
. probes: Cleanup code using __free(trace_probe_log_clear) to clear
error log automatically.
. probes: Replace strcpy() with memcpy() in __trace_probe_log_err().
