Subject: [PATCH] sh/kprobes: Fix illslot handler not to unregister but disarm
 kprobe

Fix illegal slot exception handler not to unregister the kprobe
but just to disarm it. Since the unregister_kprobe must sleep (by
synchronize_sched), it must not be called from any exception/
interrupt handlers. Disarming is safe because it just recovers
original instruction code.
