Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 05/17] kprobes: Remove redundant arch_disarm_kprobe() call

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@...nel.org>

Fix to remove redundant arch_disarm_kprobe() call in
force_unoptimize_kprobe(). This arch_disarm_kprobe()
will be invoked if the kprobe is optimized but disabled,
but that means the kprobe (optprobe) is unused (and
unoptimized) state.

In that case, unoptimize_kprobe() puts it in freeing_list
and kprobe_optimizer (do_unoptimize_kprobes()) automatically
disarm it. Thus this arch_disarm_kprobe() is redundant.
