uprobes: Kill write_opcode()->lock_page(new_page)

write_opcode() does lock_page(new_page) for no reason. Nobody
can see this page until __replace_page() exposes it under ptl
lock, and we do nothing with this page after pte_unmap_unlock().

If nothing else, the similar code in do_wp_page() doesn't lock
the new page for page_add_new_anon_rmap/set_pte_at_notify.
