[PATCH v2 02/12] uprobes: correct mmap_sem locking assumptions in uprobe_write_opcode()

[Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org>]

It seems like uprobe_write_opcode() doesn't require writer locked
mmap_sem, any lock (reader or writer) should be sufficient. This was
established in a discussion in [0] and looking through existing code
seems to confirm that there is no need for write-locked mmap_sem.

Fix the comment to state this clearly.
