uprobes: __replace_page() should not use page_address_in_vma()
page_address_in_vma(old_page) in __replace_page() is ugly and
wrong. The caller already knows the correct virtual address,
this page was found by get_user_pages(vaddr).
However, page_address_in_vma() can actually fail if
page->mapping was cleared by __delete_from_page_cache() after
get_user_pages() returns. But this means the race with page
reclaim, write_opcode() should not fail, it should retry and
read this page again. Probably the race with remove_mapping() is
not possible due to page_freeze_refs() logic, but afaics at
least shmem_writepage()->shmem_delete_from_page_cache() can
clear ->mapping.
We could change __replace_page() to return -EAGAIN in this case,
but it would be better to simply use the caller's vaddr and rely
on page_check_address().
