From: Menglong Dong <[e-mail]>

For now, the BPF program of type BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING can only be used
on the kernel functions whose arguments count less than 6. This is not
friendly at all, as too many functions have arguments count more than 6.

Therefore, let's enhance it by increasing the function arguments count
allowed in arch_prepare_bpf_trampoline(), for now, only x86_64.

In the 1st patch, we make arch_prepare_bpf_trampoline() support to copy
function arguments in stack for x86 arch. Therefore, the maximum
arguments can be up to MAX_BPF_FUNC_ARGS for FENTRY and FEXIT.

In the 2nd patch, we clean garbage value in upper bytes of the trampoline
when we store the arguments from regs into stack.

And the 3rd patches are for the testcases of the 1st patch.

Changes since v2:
- keep MAX_BPF_FUNC_ARGS still
- clean garbage value in upper bytes in the 2nd patch
- move bpf_fentry_test{7,12} to bpf_testmod.c and rename them to
  bpf_testmod_fentry_test{7,12} meanwhile in the 3rd patch

Changes since v1:
- change the maximun function arguments to 14 from 12
- add testcases (Jiri Olsa)
- instead EMIT4 with EMIT3_off32 for "lea" to prevent overflow
