uprobes: Restrict valid_vma(false) to skip VM_SHARED vmas

Browse Source 
valid_vma(false) ignores ->vm_flags, this is not actually right.
We should never try to write into MAP_SHARED mapping, this can
confuse an apllication which actually writes to ->vm_file.

With this patch valid_vma(false) ignores VM_WRITE only but checks
other (immutable) bits checked by valid_vma(true). This can also
speedup uprobe_munmap() and uprobe_unregister().

Note: even after this patch _unregister can confuse the probed
application if it does mprotect(PROT_WRITE) after _register and
installs "int3", but this is hardly possible to avoid and this
doesn't differ from gdb case.
