kprobes: Optimize hot path by using percpu counter to collect 'nhit' statistics
When doing ebpf+kprobe on some hot TCP functions (e.g.
tcp_rcv_established), the kprobe_dispatcher() function
shows up in 'perf report'.
In kprobe_dispatcher(), there is a lot of cache bouncing
on 'tk->nhit++'. 'tk->nhit' and 'tk->tp.flags' also share
the same cacheline.
