forgot to mention... shouldn't it also check IS_ALIGNED(addr, AARCH64_INSN_SIZE) ?

I do not know if unaligned insn address is valid on arm64 or not, but please
note that at least it should not cross the page boundary, set_swbp() needs to
write AARCH64_INSN_SIZE == UPROBE_SWBP_INSN bytes and it assumes that this
should fit the single page.
