uprobes: Kill uprobes_srcu/uprobe_srcu_id
Kill the no longer needed uprobes_srcu/uprobe_srcu_id code.
It doesn't really work anyway. synchronize_srcu() can only
synchronize with the code "inside" the
srcu_read_lock/srcu_read_unlock section, while
uprobe_pre_sstep_notifier() does srcu_read_lock() _after_ we
already hit the breakpoint.
I guess this probably works "in practice". synchronize_srcu() is
slow and it implies synchronize_sched(), and the probed task
enters the non- preemptible section at the start of exception
handler. Still this is not right at least in theory, and
task->uprobe_srcu_id blows task_struct.
