uprobes/core: Remove uprobe_opcode_sz

uprobe_opcode_sz refers to the smallest instruction size for
that architecture. UPROBES_BKPT_INSN_SIZE refers to the size of
the breakpoint instruction for that architecture.

For now we are assuming that both uprobe_opcode_sz and
UPROBES_BKPT_INSN_SIZE are the same for all archs and hence
removing uprobe_opcode_sz in favour of UPROBES_BKPT_INSN_SIZE.

However if we have to support architectures where the smallest
instruction size is different from the size of breakpoint
instruction, we may have to re-introduce uprobe_opcode_sz.
