Subject: [PATCH 2/3] uprobes: __copy_insn() should ensure a_ops->readpage
	!= NULL

__copy_insn() blindly calls read_mapping_page(), this will crash
the kernel if ->readpage == NULL, add the necessary check. For
example, hugetlbfs_aops->readpage is NULL. Perhaps we should change
read_mapping_page() instead.
