Ah, I missed build_probe_list(), but I didn't see a reason for the
existence of dec_mm_uprobe_count(), the name doesn't make sense and the
content is 'small' enough to just put in munmap_uprobe.

To me it looks similar to the list iteration you have in mmap_uprobe(),
you didn't split that out into another function either.
