Commit 9178412ddf ("tracing: probeevent: Return consumed
bytes of dynamic area") improved the string fetching
mechanism by returning the number of required bytes after
copying the argument to the dynamic area. However, this
return value is now only used to increment the pointer
inside the dynamic area but misses updating the 'maxlen'
variable which indicates the remaining space in the dynamic
area.
This means that fetch_store_string() always reads the *total*
size of the dynamic area from the data_loc pointer instead of
the *remaining* size (and passes it along to
strncpy_from_{user,unsafe}) even if we're already about to
copy data into the middle of the dynamic area.

Add array type support for probe events.
This allows user to get arraied types from memory address.
The array type syntax is
TYPE[N]
Where TYPE is one of types (u8/16/32/64,s8/16/32/64,
x8/16/32/64, symbol, string) and N is a fixed value less
than 64.
The string array type is a bit different from other types. For
other base types, <base-type>[1] is equal to <base-type>
(e.g. +0(%di):x32[1] is same as +0(%di):x32.) But string[1] is not
equal to string. The string type itself represents "char array",
but string array type represents "char * array". So, for example,
+0(%di):string[1] is equal to +0(+0(%di)):string.

Unify the fetch_insn bottom process (from stage 2: dereference
indirect data) from kprobe and uprobe events, since those are
mostly same.

Cleanup string fetching routine so that returns the consumed
bytes of dynamic area and store the string information as
data_loc format instead of data_rloc.
This simplifies the fetcharg loop.

Replace {k,u}probe event argument fetching framework with switch-case based.
Currently that is implemented with structures, macros and chain of
function-pointers, which is more complicated than necessary and may get a
performance penalty by retpoline.
This simplify that with an array of "fetch_insn" (opcode and oprands), and
make process_fetch_insn() just interprets it. No function pointers are used.
