Subject: [PATCH 4/4] uprobes: Simplify is_swbp_at_addr(), remove stale
	comments

After the previous change is_swbp_at_addr() is always called with
current->mm. Remove this check and move it close to its single caller.

Also, remove the obsolete comment about is_swbp_at_addr() and
uprobe_state.count.
