uprobes: Optimize is_swbp_at_addr() for current->mm
Change is_swbp_at_addr() to try to avoid the costly read_opcode() if mm == current->mm, __copy_from_user_inatomic() should succeed in the likely case. Currently this optimization is not important, but we are going to add more is_swbp_at_addr(current->mm) callers.
