uprobes: Remove too strict lockdep_assert() condition in hprobe_expire()
hprobe_expire() is used to atomically switch pending uretprobe instance (struct return_instance) from being SRCU protected to be refcounted. This can be done from background timer thread, or synchronously within current thread when task is forked. In the former case, return_instance has to be protected through RCU read lock, and that's what hprobe_expire() used to check with lockdep_assert(rcu_read_lock_held()). But in the latter case (hprobe_expire() called from dup_utask()) there is no RCU lock being held, and it's both unnecessary and incovenient. Inconvenient due to the intervening memory allocations inside dup_return_instance()'s loop. Unnecessary because dup_utask() is called synchronously in current thread, and no uretprobe can run at that point, so return_instance can't be freed either. So drop rcu_read_lock_held() condition, and expand corresponding comment to explain necessary lifetime guarantees. lockdep_assert()-detected issue is a false positive.
