Subject: [PATCH 1/3] uprobes: Kill uprobe_events, use RB_EMPTY_ROOT()
	instead

uprobe_events counts the number of uprobes in uprobes_tree but
it is used as a boolean. We can use RB_EMPTY_ROOT() instead.

Probably no_uprobe_events() added by this patch can have more
callers, say, mmf_recalc_uprobes().
