uprobes: Ensure return_instance is detached from the list before freeing



Ensure that by the time we call free_ret_instance() to clean up an
instance of struct return_instance it isn't reachable from
utask->return_instances anymore.

free_ret_instance() is called in a few different situations, all but one
of which already are fine w.r.t. return_instance visibility:

  - uprobe_free_utask() guarantees that ri_timer() won't be called
    (through timer_delete_sync() call), and so there is no need to
    unlink anything, because entire utask is being freed;
  - uprobe_handle_trampoline() is already unlinking to-be-freed
    return_instance with rcu_assign_pointer() before calling
    free_ret_instance().

Only cleanup_return_instances() violates this property, which so far is
not causing problems due to RCU-delayed freeing of return_instance,
which we'll change in the next patch. So make sure we unlink
return_instance before passing it into free_ret_instance(), as otherwise
reuse will be unsafe.
