[PATCH v2 tip/perf/core 4/5] uprobes: simplify find_active_uprobe_rcu() VMA checks

From: Andrii Nakryiko
Date: Tue Oct 01 2024 - 18:53:23 EST


At the point where find_active_uprobe_rcu() is used we know that VMA in
question has triggered software breakpoint, so we don't need to validate
vma->vm_flags. Keep only vma->vm_file NULL check.
