tracing: Remove igrab() iput() call from uprobes.c
Caller of uprobe_register is required to keep the inode and containing mount point referenced. There was misuse of igrab() in uprobes.c and trace_uprobe.c. This is because igrab() will not prevent umount of the containing mount point. To fix this, we added path to struct trace_uprobe, which keeps the inode and containing mount reference. For uprobes.c, it is not necessary to call igrab() in uprobe_register(), as the caller is required to keep the inode reference. The igrab() is removed and comments on this requirement is added to uprobe_register().
