Subject: [PATCH] uprobes: Optimize is_swbp_at_addr() for current->mm
Change is_swbp_at_addr() to try to avoid the costly
read_opcode() if mm == current->mm, __copy_from_user_inatomic()
should succeed in the likely case.
Currently this optimization is not important, but we are going
to add more is_swbp_at_addr(current->mm) callers.
