Subject: [PATCH-rt] Revert "kprobes: adjust "fix a memory leak in function pre_handler_kretprobe()""

This reverts commit b8a0040ef7112439ad2efac6f1a79aa842b5924f.

Because rt pulls in 7b8d0e5, the above fix which comes from v3.0.24
should not be applied. kretprobe is a raw_spinlock_t for real-time.

Before the revert we get the following compile errors

kernel/kprobes.c:1664: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘rt_spin_lock’ from incompatible pointer type
kernel/kprobes.c:1666: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘rt_spin_unlock’ from incompatible pointer type

Note: This patch is for v3.0.24-rt42-rc1
