Hmm, For me whats done in dec_mm_uprobe_count() is similar to whats
done in build_probe_list(), just that build_probe_list does a atomic_inc
+ list_add while dec_mm_uprobe_count() does a atomic_dec.

When I kept dec_mm_uprobe_count() inside munmap_uprobe(), I found most
of the code nested too deep. Hence carved it out as a separate function.

I open to suggestions for dec_mm_uprobe_count()
