I too feel the name is not apt.
Can you make this vma_has_uprobes and convert the current
vma_has_uprobes to __vma_has_uprobes?

That is a very good observation.
One think we can probably do is pass an extra parameter to
has_uprobes(), depending on which we should skip this check.
such that when we call from uprobes_munmap(), we continue as is
but when calling from do_munmap_zap_rlock(), we skip the check.
