Subject: [PATCH 4/7] uprobes: teach find_active_uprobe() to provide the
	"is_swbp" info

A separate patch to simplify the review, and for the documentation.

The patch adds another "int *is_swbp" argument to find_active_uprobe(),
so far its only caller doesn't use this info.

With this patch find_active_uprobe() additionally does:

	- if find_vma() + ->vm_start check fails, *is_swbp = -EFAULT

	- otherwise, if valid_vma() + find_uprobe() fails, it holds
	  the result of is_swbp_at_addr(), can be negative too. The
	  latter is only possible if we raced with another thread
	  which did munmap/etc after we hit this bp.

IOW. If find_active_uprobe(&is_swbp) returns NULL, the caller can
look at is_swbp to figure out whether the current insn is bp or not,
or detect the race with another thread if it is negative.

Note: I think that performance-wise this change is fine. This adds
is_swbp_at_addr(), but only if we raced with uprobe_unregister() or
if we hit the "normal" int3 but this mm has uprobes as well. And even
in this case the slow read_opcode() path is very unlikely, this insn
recently triggered do_int3(), __copy_from_user_inatomic() shouldn't
fail in the likely case.
