Subject: [PATCH 2/3] uprobes/core: remove uprobe_opcode_sz

From: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

uprobe_opcode_sz refers to the smallest instruction size for that
architecture. UPROBES_BKPT_INSN_SIZE refers to the size of the breakpoint
instruction for that architecture.

For now we are assuming that both uprobe_opcode_sz and
UPROBES_BKPT_INSN_SIZE are the same for all archs and hence removing
uprobe_opcode_sz in favour of UPROBES_BKPT_INSN_SIZE.

However if we have to support architectures where the smallest instruction
size is different from the size of breakpoint instruction, we may have to
re-introduce uprobe_opcode_sz.
