uprobes: Clean up and document write_opcode()->lock_page(old_page)
The comment above write_opcode()->lock_page(old_page) tells about the race with do_wp_page(). I don't really understand which exactly race it means, but afaics this lock_page() was not enough to close all races with do_wp_page(). Anyway, since: 77fc4af1b59d uprobes: Change register_for_each_vma() to take mm->mmap_sem for writing this code is always called with ->mmap_sem held for writing, so we can forget about do_wp_page(). However, we can't simply remove this lock_page(), and the only (afaics) reason is __replace_page()->try_to_free_swap(). Nothing in write_opcode() needs it, move it into __replace_page() and fix the comment.
