uprobes: Change uprobe_copy_process() to dup return_instances
uprobe_copy_process() assumes that the new child doesn't need ->utask, it should be allocated by demand. But this is not true if the forking task has the pending ret- probes, the child should report them as well and thus it needs the copy of parent's ->return_instances chain. Otherwise the child crashes when it returns from the probed function. Alternatively we could cleanup the child's stack, but this needs per-arch changes and this is not what we want. At least systemtap expects a .return in the child too. Note: this change alone doesn't fix the problem, see the next change.
