ACK, but I have cosmetic nit, this doesn't match other uprobe helpers.

I'd suggest to add uprobe_init_state() into kernel/events/uprobes.c and
the dummy !CONFIG_UPROBES version into include/linux/uprobes.h.

Not that I think this will be more clean, personally I would simply add a
ifdef(CONFIG_UPROBES) line into mm_init(), but this will be more consistent.
