[PATCH v1 09/13] perf test record+probe_libc_inet_pton: Scope event to PID, add retries, and make non-exclusive

[Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>]

The uprobe name was not scoped to PID, and concurrent writes to
`/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events` can occasionally return
`-EBUSY` when another process holds the tracefs inode lock.

Scope the probe event name with `$$` (`inet_pton_$$=inet_pton`) and add
a retry loop with backoff for uprobe addition. Drop the
`(exclusive)` tag so the test can run in parallel during pass 1.

A PID scoped probe is no longer cleaned up by any other test, so add an
EXIT/TERM/INT trap to delete it, otherwise an interrupted run leaks the
uprobe into the system. The trap is installed only after the root and
IPv6 checks that `exit 2` to skip the test, as trap_cleanup() exits 1
and would otherwise turn those skips into failures. Deletion enumerates
the probes from `perf probe -l`, matching
`^probe_libc:inet_pton_$$(_[[:digit:]]+)?$` exactly, rather than reading
$event_name: a signal arriving after perf probe injected the uprobe but
before the assignment completed would leave that variable empty and leak
the probe, and an `inet_pton_$$*` glob would reach the probe of a test
whose pid merely starts with this one's.

While here use mktemp rather than mktemp -u for the temporary files:
this test runs as root in a world writable /tmp, and predicting a name
without creating it allows another user to win the race and plant a
symlink. The perf.data check becomes -s rather than -e as mktemp now
pre-creates an empty file.
