I think there is a simple mistake in the search logic here.  In particular, I
think the arguments to match_uprobe() should be swapped to give:

	match = match_uprobe(&r, uprobe, NULL)

Otherwise, when we do not have an exact match, the next node to be considered
is the left child of 'uprobe' even though 'uprobe' is "smaller" than r (and
vice versa for the "larger" case).

I think the match_uprobe() arguments should be swapped here as well for
similar reasons as above.

Also, changing the argument order seems to solve the issue reported by
Josh Stone where only the uprobe with the lowest address was responding
(thou I did not test with perf, just lightly with the trace_event
interface).  In particular, iteration using rb_next() appears to work as
expected, thus allowing all breakpoints to be registered in
mmap_uprobe().
