bpf: Prevent bpf program recursion for raw tracepoint probes



We got report from sysbot [1] about warnings that were caused by
bpf program attached to contention_begin raw tracepoint triggering
the same tracepoint by using bpf_trace_printk helper that takes
trace_printk_lock lock.

 Call Trace:

The can be reproduced by attaching bpf program as raw tracepoint on
contention_begin tracepoint. The bpf prog calls bpf_trace_printk
helper. Then by running perf bench the spin lock code is forced to
take slow path and call contention_begin tracepoint.

Fixing this by skipping execution of the bpf program if it's
already running, Using bpf prog 'active' field, which is being
currently used by trampoline programs for the same reason.

Moving bpf_prog_inc_misses_counter to syscall.c because
trampoline.c is compiled in just for CONFIG_BPF_JIT option.
