uprobes: Fix handle_swbp() vs. unregister() + register() race once more
Commit: 142b18ddc8143 ("uprobes: Fix handle_swbp() vs unregister() + register() race") added the UPROBE_COPY_INSN flag, and corresponding smp_wmb() and smp_rmb() memory barriers, to ensure that handle_swbp() uses fully-initialized uprobes only. However, the smp_rmb() is mis-placed: this barrier should be placed after handle_swbp() has tested for the flag, thus guaranteeing that (program-order) subsequent loads from the uprobe can see the initial stores performed by prepare_uprobe(). Move the smp_rmb() accordingly. Also amend the comments associated to the two memory barriers to indicate their actual locations.
