uprobes: Teach handle_swbp() to rely on "is_swbp" rather than uprobes_srcu
Currently handle_swbp() assumes that it can't race with unregister, so it roughly does: if (find_uprobe(vaddr)) process_uprobe(); else send_sig(SIGTRAP); This relies on the not-really-working uprobes_srcu code we are going to remove, see the next patch. With this patch we rely on the result of is_swbp_at_addr(bp_vaddr) if find_uprobe() fails. If is_swbp == 1, then we hit the normal int3, we should send SIGTRAP. If is_swbp == 0, we raced with uprobe_unregister(), we simply restart this insn again. The "difficult" case is is_swbp == -EFAULT, when we can't read this memory. In this case I think we should restart too, and this is more correct compared to the current code which sends SIGTRAP. Ignoring ENOMEM/etc from get_user_pages(), this can only happen if another thread unmaps this memory before find_active_uprobe() takes mmap_sem. It would be better to pretend it was unmapped before this insn was executed, restart, and get SIGSEGV.
