If handle_swbp()->add_utask() fails but UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP is set,
cleanup_ret: path do not restart the insn, this is wrong. Remove
this check and add the additional label for can_skip_sstep() = T
case.

Note also that UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP can be false positive, we simply
can not trust it unless arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() was already called.

Also, move another UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP check before can_skip_sstep()
into this helper, this looks more clean and understandable.

Note: probably we should rename "skip" to "emulate" and I think
that "clear UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP" should be moved to arch_can_skip.
