Original code failed to disarm the probed instruction after

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled

if OPTPROBE is enabled.

This is caused by a piece of logically inconsistent code:

	unoptimize_kprobe(p, false);
	if (!kprobe_queued(p)) {
		...
	}

unoptimize_kprobe() with 'force' == false queues p onto
unoptimizing_list, so following kprobe_queued() check always fail unless
another core schedules optimizer and does the unoptimization very soon.
This logic causes arch_disarm_kprobe() failed to get execute, lefts a
breakpoint at the probed address, instead of restoring it.

This patch uses force unoptimize instead.
