[PATCH 4/7] uprobes: do not use -EEXIST in install_breakpoint()paths

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Wed Aug 08 2012 - 13:41:01 EST


-EEXIST from install_breakpoint() no longer makes sense, all
callers should simply treat it as "success". Change the code
to return zero and simplify register_for_each_vma().
