[PATCH 05/10] uprobes: share the i_mmap_rwsem

[Davidlohr Bueso]

Both register and unregister call build_map_info() in order
to create the list of mappings before installing or removing
breakpoints for every mm which maps file backed memory. As
such, there is no reason to hold the i_mmap_rwsem exclusively,
so share it and allow concurrent readers to build the mapping
data.
