rethook: Add a generic return hook

Add a return hook framework which hooks the function return. Most of the
logic came from the kretprobe, but this is independent from kretprobe.

Note that this is expected to be used with other function entry hooking
feature, like ftrace, fprobe, adn kprobes. Eventually this will replace
the kretprobe (e.g. kprobe + rethook = kretprobe), but at this moment,
this is just an additional hook.
