kretprobe is using freelist to manage return-instances, but freelist,
as LIFO queue based on singly linked list, scales badly and reduces
the overall throughput of kretprobed routines, especially for high
contention scenarios.
Here's a typical throughput test of sys_prctl (counts in 10 seconds,
measured with perf stat -a -I 10000 -e syscalls:sys_enter_prctl):
OS: Debian 10 X86_64, Linux 6.5rc7 with freelist
HW: XEON 8336C x 2, 64 cores/128 threads, DDR4 3200MT/s
1T 2T 4T 8T 16T 24T

16200682 13737658 11645677 11269858 10470118 9931051
This patch introduces objpool to replace freelist. objpool is a
high performance queue, which can bring near-linear scalability
to kretprobed routines. Tests of kretprobe throughput show the
biggest ratio as 159x of original freelist. Here's the result:
1T 2T 4T 8T 16T

Testings on 96-core ARM64 output similarly, but with the biggest
ratio up to 448x:
