uprobes: Shift ->readpage check from __copy_insn() to uprobe_register()
copy_insn() fails with -EIO if ->readpage == NULL, but this error is not propagated unless uprobe_register() path finds ->mm which already mmaps this file. In this case (say) "perf record" does not actually install the probe, but the user can't know about this. Move this check into uprobe_register() so that this problem can be detected earlier and reported to user. Note: this is still not perfect, - copy_insn() and arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() should be called by uprobe_register() but this is not simple, we need vm_file for read_mapping_page() (although perhaps we can pass NULL), and we need ->mm for is_64bit_mm() (although this logic is broken anyway). - uprobe_register() should be called by create_trace_uprobe(), not by probe_event_enable(), so that an error can be detected at "perf probe -x" time. This also needs more changes in the core uprobe code, uprobe register/unregister interface was poorly designed from the very beginning.
