On the previous series, I had a comment left unanswered with regards to
always returning false in is_trap_insn():

Looking at handle_swbp(), if we hit a breakpoint for which we don't have
a valid uprobe, this function currently sends a SIGTRAP. But if
is_trap_insn() returns false always, is_trap_at_addr() would return 0 in
this case so the SIGTRAP is never issued.
