Subject[PATCH v2 1/5] uprobes: don't recheck vma/f_mapping in write_opcode()
write_opcode() rechecks valid_vma() and ->f_mapping, this is pointless.
The caller, register_for_each_vma() or uprobe_mmap(), has already done
these checks under mmap_sem.

To clarify, uprobe_mmap() checks valid_vma() only, but we can rely on
build_probe_list(vm_file->f_mapping->host).
