[PATCHv6 perf/core 01/22] uprobes: Remove breakpoint in unapply_uprobe under mmap_write_lock

[Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>]

Currently unapply_uprobe takes mmap_read_lock, but it might call
remove_breakpoint which eventually changes user pages.

Current code writes either breakpoint or original instruction, so it can
go away with read lock as explained in here [1]. But with the upcoming
change that writes multiple instructions on the probed address we need
to ensure that any update to mm's pages is exclusive.
