[PATCH 6.1.y 1/2] kprobes: Remove unneeded goto

[Sasha Levin]

From: "Masami Hiramatsu (Google)" <mhiramat@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 5e5b8b49335971b68b54afeb0e7ded004945af07 ]

Remove unneeded gotos. Since the labels referred by these gotos have
only one reference for each, we can replace those gotos with the
referred code.
