write_opcode()->get_user_pages() needs FOLL_FORCE to ensure we can
read the page even if the probed task did mprotect(PROT_NONE) after
uprobe_register(). Without FOLL_WRITE, FOLL_FORCE doesn't have any
side effect but allows to read the !VM_READ memory.

Otherwiese the subsequent uprobe_unregister()->set_orig_insn() fails
and we leak "int3". If that task does mprotect(PROT_READ | EXEC) and
execute the probed insn later it will be killed.

Note: in fact this is also needed for _register, see the next patch.
