The comment above uprobe_write_opcode() is wrong, unapply_uprobe() calls
it under mmap_read_lock() and this is correct.
And it is completely unclear why register_for_each_vma() takes mmap_lock
for writing, add a comment to explain that mmap_write_lock() is needed to
avoid the following race:
- A task T hits the bp installed by uprobe and calls
find_active_uprobe()
- uprobe_unregister() removes this uprobe/bp
- T calls find_uprobe() which returns NULL
- another uprobe_register() installs the bp at the same address
- T calls is_trap_at_addr() which returns true
- T returns to handle_swbp() and gets SIGTRAP.
