    uprobes: Fix handle_swbp() vs. unregister() + register() race once more · 8d3ab1cc

    commit 09d3f015 upstream.
    
    Commit:
    
      142b18dd
    
     ("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.
