[PATCH v2 2/5] uprobes: is_trap_at_addr: don't use get_user_pages_remote()

get_user_pages_remote() and the comment above it make no sense.

There is no task_struct passed into get_user_pages_remote() anymore, and
nowadays mm_account_fault() increments the current->min/maj_flt counters
regardless of FAULT_FLAG_REMOTE.
