OK, I agree, this should never happen.

But if you remove this check, then

we can probably remove the similar check above?

I mean, why do we need the list_for_each_entry_srcu() above? Is it possible
that uprobe_apply(uprobe, uc) is called when "uc" is not on the ->consumers
list?

At first glance I see no problems in this patch... but you know, my eyes are
already blurring, I'll continue tomorrow and read this patch again.
