Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] A few uprobe fixes

The first patch adds a warning if we are unable to install a uprobe 
breakpoint and is unchanged from the previous posting at:
https://www.mail-archive.com/linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org/msg123290.html

The second patch just rate limits the uprobe warnings and is new in this 
series.

The third patch fixes how we check for an active uprobe -- we need to 
consider if we were actually successful in installing the breakpoint.  
This patch is new in this series as well.
