uprobes: Kill uprobes_state->count 

uprobes_state->count is only needed to avoid the slow path in
uprobe_pre_sstep_notifier(). It is also checked in uprobe_munmap()
but ironically its only goal to decrement this counter. However,
it is very broken. Just some examples:

- uprobe_mmap() can race with uprobe_unregister() and wrongly
  increment the counter if it hits the non-uprobe "int3". Note
  that install_breakpoint() checks ->consumers first and returns
  -EEXIST if it is NULL.

  "atomic_sub() if error" in uprobe_mmap() looks obviously wrong
  too.

- uprobe_munmap() can race with uprobe_register() and wrongly
  decrement the counter by the same reason.

- Suppose an appication tries to increase the mmapped area via
  sys_mremap(). vma_adjust() does uprobe_munmap(whole_vma) first,
  this can nullify the counter temporarily and race with another
  thread which can hit the bp, the application will be killed by
  SIGTRAP.

- Suppose an application mmaps 2 consecutive areas in the same file
  and one (or both) of these areas has uprobes. In the likely case
  mmap_region()->vma_merge() suceeds. Like above, this leads to
  uprobe_munmap/uprobe_mmap from vma_merge()->vma_adjust() but then
  mmap_region() does another uprobe_mmap(resulting_vma) and doubles
  the counter.

This patch only removes this counter and fixes the compile errors,
then we will try to cleanup the changed code and add something else
instead.
