    ms/uprobes: share the i_mmap_rwsem
    
    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.
