Subject: [PATCH] uprobes/x86: fix detection of 32-bit user mode

32-bit processes running on a 64-bit kernel are not always detected
correctly, causing the process to crash when uretprobes are installed.
The reason for the crash is that in_ia32_syscall() is used to determine
the process's mode, which only works correctly when called from a
syscall. In the case of uretprobes, however, the function is called from
a software interrupt and always returns 'false' (on a 64-bit kernel). In
consequence this leads to corruption of the process's return address.

This can be fixed by using user_64bit_mode(), which should always be
correct.

Please note that I just stumbled over this bug and am not really
familiar with all the internals. So take the patch and, in particular,
the commit message with a grain of salt. Thanks!
