    Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:
    
     - tracing/probes: Add new pseudo-types %pd and %pD support for dumping
       dentry name from 'struct dentry *' and file name from 'struct file *'
    
     - uprobes performance optimizations:
        - Speed up the BPF uprobe event by delaying the fetching of the
          uprobe event arguments that are not used in BPF
        - Avoid locking by speculatively checking whether uprobe event is
          valid
        - Reduce lock contention by using read/write_lock instead of
          spinlock for uprobe list operation. This improved BPF uprobe
          benchmark result 43% on average
    
     - rethook: Remove non-fatal warning messages when tracing stack from
       BPF and skip rcu_is_watching() validation in rethook if possible
    
     - objpool: Optimize objpool (which is used by kretprobes and fprobe as
       rethook backend storage) by inlining functions and avoid caching
       nr_cpu_ids because it is a const value
    
     - fprobe: Add entry/exit callbacks types (code cleanup)
    
     - kprobes: Check ftrace was killed in kprobes if it uses ftrace
