kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite

uprobe_write_opcode() does some pretty low-level things that really, it
shouldn't be doing: for example, manually breaking COW by allocating
anonymous folios and replacing mapped pages.

Further, it does seem to do some shaky things: for example, writing to
possible COW-shared anonymous pages or zapping anonymous pages that might
be pinned.  We're also not taking care of uffd, uffd-wp, softdirty ... 
although rather corner cases here.  Let's just get it right like ordinary
ptrace writes would.

Let's rewrite the code, leaving COW-breaking to core-MM, triggered by
FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE (note that the code was already using FOLL_FORCE).

We'll use GUP to lookup/faultin the page and break COW if required.  Then,
we'll walk the page tables using a folio_walk to perform our page
modification atomically by temporarily unmap the PTE + flushing the TLB.

Likely, we could avoid the temporary unmap in case we can just atomically
write the instruction, but that will be a separate project.

Unfortunately, we still have to implement the zapping logic manually,
because we only want to zap in specific circumstances (e.g., page content
identical).

Note that we can now handle large folios (compound pages) and the shared
zeropage just fine, so drop these checks.
