[PATCH v2] tracepoint: Do not fail unregistering a probe due to memory allocation

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The list of tracepoint callbacks is managed by an array that is protected
by RCU. To update this array, a new array is allocated, the updates are
copied over to the new array, and then the list of functions for the
tracepoint is switched over to the new array. After a completion of an RCU
grace period, the old array is freed.

This process happens for both adding a callback as well as removing one.
But on removing a callback, if the new array fails to be allocated, the
callback is not removed, and may be used after it is freed by the clients
of the tracepoint.

There's really no reason to fail if the allocation for a new array fails
when removing a function. Instead, the function can simply be replaced by a
stub that will be ignored in the callback loop, and it will be cleaned up
on the next modification of the array.

Changes since v1:
Use 1L value for stub function, and ignore calling it.
