Change register_for_each_vma() to take mm->mmap_sem for writing.
This is a bit unfortunate but hopefully not too bad, this is the
slow path anyway.
This is needed to ensure that find_active_uprobe() can not race
with uprobe_register() which adds the new bp at the same bp_vaddr,
after find_uprobe() fails and before is_swbp_at_addr_fast() checks
the memory.
IOW, this is needed to ensure that if find_active_uprobe() returns
NULL but is_swbp == true, we can safely assume that it was the
"normal" int3 and we should send SIGTRAP.
