kretprobes: Ensure probe location is at function entry
kretprobes can be registered by specifying an absolute address or by specifying offset to a symbol. However, we need to ensure this falls at function entry so as to be able to determine the return address. Validate the same during kretprobe registration. By default, there should not be any offset from a function entry, as determined through a kallsyms_lookup(). Introduce arch_function_offset_within_entry() as a way for architectures to override this.
