uprobes: Change the callsite of uprobe_copy_process()
Preparation for the next patches. Move the callsite of uprobe_copy_process() in copy_process() down to the succesfull return. We do not care if copy_process() fails, uprobe_free_utask() won't be called in this case so the wrong ->utask != NULL doesn't matter. OTOH, with this change we know that copy_process() can't fail when uprobe_copy_process() is called, the new task should either return to user-mode or call do_exit(). This way uprobe_copy_process() can: 1. setup p->utask != NULL if necessary 2. setup uprobes_state.xol_area 3. use task_work_add(p) Also, move the definition of uprobe_copy_process() down so that it can see get_utask().
