Fix how selftests determine relative offset of a function that is
uprobed. Previously, there was an assumption that uprobed function is
always in the first executable region, which is not always the case
(libbpf CI hits this case now). So get_base_addr() approach in isolation
doesn't work anymore. So teach get_uprobe_offset() to determine correct
memory mapping and calculate uprobe offset correctly.
While at it, I merged together two implementations of
get_uprobe_offset() helper, moving powerpc64-specific logic inside (had
to add extra {} block to avoid unused variable error for insn).
Also ensured that uprobed functions are never inlined, but are still
static (and thus local to each selftest), by using a no-op asm volatile
block internally. I didn't want to keep them global __weak, because some
tests use uprobe's ref counter offset (to test USDT-like logic) which is
not compatible with non-refcounted uprobe. So it's nicer to have each
test uprobe target local to the file and guaranteed to not be inlined or
skipped by the compiler (which can happen with static functions,
especially if compiling selftests with -O2).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
