Issue:

bpf_probe_read() is no longer available for architecture which has
overlapping address space. Hence bpf prologue generation fails

Fix:

Use bpf_probe_read_kernel for kernel member access. For user attribute
access in kprobes, use bpf_probe_read_user.

Other:

@user attribute was introduced in commit 1e032f7c ("perf-probe: Add
user memory access attribute support")

Test:

1. ulimit -l 128 ; ./perf record -e tests/bpf_sched_setscheduler.c
2. cat tests/bpf_sched_setscheduler.c
