uprobes: Teach uprobe_copy_process() to handle CLONE_VFORK
uprobe_copy_process() does nothing if the child shares ->mm with the forking process, but there is a special case: CLONE_VFORK. In this case it would be more correct to do dup_utask() but avoid dup_xol(). This is not that important, the child should not unwind its stack too much, this can corrupt the parent's stack, but at least we need this to allow to ret-probe __vfork() itself. Note: in theory, it would be better to check task_pt_regs(p)->sp instead of CLONE_VFORK, we need to dup_utask() if and only if the child can return from the function called by the parent. But this needs the arch-dependant helper, and I think that nobody actually does clone(same_stack, CLONE_VM).
