If mmap_region()->uprobe_mmap() fails, unmap_and_free_vma path
does unmap_region() but does not remove the soon-to-be-freed vma
from rb tree (actually there are more problems).
Perhaps we could do do_munmap() + return in this case, but in fact
it is simply wrong to abort if uprobe_mmap() fails. Until at least
we move the !UPROBE_COPY_INSN code from install_breakpoint() to
uprobe_register().
For example, uprobe_mmap()->install_breakpoint() can fail if the
probed insn is not supported (remember, uprobe_register() succeeds
if nobody mmaps inode/offset), mmap() should not fail in this case.
dup_mmap()->uprobe_mmap() is wrong too by the same reason, fork()
can race with uprobe_register() and fail for no reason if it wins
the race and does install_breakpoint() first.
Change mmap_region() and dup_mmap() to ignore the error code from
uprobe_mmap().
