I guess we need the union in uprobe_task anyway... I'll send the patch
soon.

Until we have the new members in uprobe_task, you can reuse utask->vaddr,
this is safe.

IOW, you can use current->utask->vaddr instead of regs->ip (as we did
in the previous discussin) to pass the necessary info to ->fetch().
