uprobes: Add trap variant helper
Some architectures like powerpc have multiple variants of the trap instruction. Introduce an additional helper is_trap_insn() for run-time handling of non-uprobe traps on such architectures. While there, change is_swbp_at_addr() to is_trap_at_addr() for reading clarity. With this change, the uprobe registration path will supercede any trap instruction inserted at the requested location, while taking care of delivering the SIGTRAP for cases where the trap notification came in for an address without a uprobe. See [1] for a more detailed explanation. [1] https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2013-March/104771.html This change was suggested by Oleg Nesterov.
