uprobes: change uprobe_register() to use uprobe_unregister() instead of __uprobe_unregister()

If register_for_each_vma() fails uprobe_register() can safely drop
uprobe->register_rwsem and use uprobe_unregister(). There is no worry
about the races with another register/unregister, consumer_add() was
already called so this case doesn't differ from _unregister() right
after the successful _register().

Yes this means the extra up_write() + down_write(), but this is the
slow and unlikely case anyway.
