Subject: [PATCH 2/5] uprobes: Do not setup ->active_uprobe/state prematurely

handle_swbp() sets utask->active_uprobe before handler_chain(),
and UTASK_SSTEP before pre_ssout(). This complicates the code
for no reason,  arch_ hooks or consumer->handler() should not
(and can't) use this info.

Change handle_swbp() to initialize them after pre_ssout(), and
remove the no longer needed cleanup-utask code.
