kprobes: Enable stacktrace from pt_regs in kretprobe handler

Since the ORC unwinder from pt_regs requires setting up regs->ip correctly, set the correct return address to the regs->ip before calling user kretprobe handler. This allows the kretrprobe handler to trace stack from the kretprobe's pt_regs by stack_trace_save_regs() (eBPF will do this), instead of stack tracing from the handler context by stack_trace_save() (ftrace will do this).
