[PATCH] kprobes: bugfix: force unoptimize when disable kprobes.

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.
