uprobes/perf: Teach trace_uprobe/perf code to pre-filter

Finally implement uprobe_perf_filter() which checks ->nr_systemwide or
->perf_events to figure out whether we need to insert the breakpoint.

uprobe_perf_open/close are changed to do uprobe_apply(true/false) when
the new perf event comes or goes away.

Note that currently this is very suboptimal:

	- uprobe_register() called by TRACE_REG_PERF_REGISTER becomes a
	  heavy nop, consumer->filter() always returns F at this stage.

	  As it was already discussed we need uprobe_register_only() to
	  avoid the costly register_for_each_vma() when possible.

	- uprobe_apply() is oftenly overkill. Unless "nr_systemwide != 0"
	  changes we need uprobe_apply_mm(), unapply_uprobe() is almost
	  what we need.

	- uprobe_apply() can be simply avoided sometimes, see the next
	  changes.

Testing:

	# perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 syscall

	# perl -e 'syscall -1 while 1' &
	[1] 530

	# perf record -e probe_libc:syscall perl -e 'syscall -1 for 1..10; sleep 1'

	# perf report --show-total-period
		100.00%            10     perl  libc-2.8.so    [.] syscall

Before this patch:

	# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_profile
		/lib/libc.so.6 syscall				79291

A huge ->nrhit == 79291 reflects the fact that the background process
530 constantly hits this breakpoint too, even if doesn't contribute to
the output.

After the patch:

	# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_profile
		/lib/libc.so.6 syscall				10

This shows that only the target process was punished by int3.
