Subject: [PATCH 3/6] uprobes: no need to re-check vma_address() in
	write_opcode()

write_opcode() is called by register_for_each_vma() and uprobe_mmap()
paths. In both cases the caller has already verified this vaddr under
mmap_sem, no need to re-check.

Note also that this check is wrong anyway, we should not truncate
loff_t returned by vma_address() if we do not trust this mapping.
