[RESEND PATCH 1/3] uprobes: Remove redundant lock_page/unlock_page

[Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Since read_opcode() reads from the referenced page and doesnt modify
the page contents nor the page attributes, there is no need to lock
the page.
