kretprobe is using freelist to manage return-instances, but freelist,
as LIFO queue based on singly linked list, scales badly and reduces
the overall throughput of kretprobed routines, especially for high
contention scenarios.

Here's a typical throughput test of sys_flock (counts in 10 seconds,
measured with perf stat -a -I 10000 -e syscalls:sys_enter_flock):

OS: Debian 10 X86_64, Linux 6.1rc2

This patch introduces objpool to kretprobe and rethook, with orginal
freelist replaced and brings near-linear scalability to kretprobed
routines. Tests of kretprobe throughput show the biggest ratio as
333.9x of the original freelist. Here's the comparison:

                  1X         2X         4X         8X        16X
freelist:   34762430   36546920   17949900   12569595   14729195
objpool:    35627544   72182095  144068494  287564688  576903916
                 32X        48X        64X        96X       128X
freelist:   10102064    8985418   11936495    7127789    9330985
objpool:  1158876372 1737828164 2324371724 2380310472 2463182819

Tests on 96-core ARM64 system output similarly, but with the biggest
ratio up to 642.2x:

OS: Debian 10 AARCH64, Linux 6.1rc2
HW: Kunpeng-920 96 cores/2 sockets/4 NUMA nodes, DDR4 2933 MT/s

freelist:   17498299   10887037   10224710    8499132    6421751
