uprobes: Write_opcode()->__replace_page() can race with try_to_unmap()

write_opcode() gets old_page via get_user_pages() and then calls
__replace_page() which assumes that this old_page is still
mapped after pte_offset_map_lock().

This is not true if this old_page was already try_to_unmap()'ed,
and in this case everything __replace_page() does with old_page
is wrong. Just for example, put_page() is not balanced.

I think it is possible to teach __replace_page() to handle this
unlikely case correctly, but this patch simply changes it to use
page_check_address() and return -EAGAIN if it fails. The caller
should notice this error code and retry.

Note: write_opcode() asks for the cleanups, I'll try to do this
in a separate patch.
