RCU style multiple probes support for the Linux Kernel Markers.
Common case (one probe) is still fast and does not require dynamic allocation
or a supplementary pointer dereference on the fast path.
- Move preempt disable from the marker site to the callback.
Since we now have an internal callback, move the preempt disable/enable to the
callback instead of the marker site.
Since the callback change is done asynchronously (passing from a handler that
supports arguments to a handler that does not setup the arguments is no
arguments are passed), we can safely update it even if it is outside the preempt
disable section.
- Move probe arm to probe connection. Now, a connected probe is automatically
armed.
