[RESEND,tip/perf/core] uprobes: switch to RCU Tasks Trace flavor for better performance

Commit Message

This patch switches uprobes SRCU usage to RCU Tasks Trace flavor, which
is optimized for more lightweight and quick readers (at the expense of
slower writers, which for uprobes is a fine trade-off) and has better
performance and scalability with number of CPUs.

Similarly to baseline vs SRCU, we've benchmarked SRCU-based
implementation vs RCU Tasks Trace implementation.

Peak throughput for uprobes increases from 8 mln/s to 10.3 mln/s
(+28%!), and for uretprobes from 5.3 mln/s to 5.8 mln/s (+11%), as we
have more work to do on uretprobes side.

Even single-thread (no contention) performance is slightly better: 3.276
mln/s to 3.396 mln/s (+3.5%) for uprobes, and 2.055 mln/s to 2.174 mln/s
(+5.8%) for uretprobes.

We also select TASKS_TRACE_RCU for UPROBES in Kconfig due to this
dependency.
