[PATCH] livepatch: Remove reliable stacktrace check in klp_try_switch_task()

From: Kamalesh Babulal
Date: Thu Jul 12 2018 - 04:08:15 EST


Support for immediate flag was removed by commit d0807da78e11
("livepatch: Remove immediate feature"). We bail out during
patch registration for architectures, those don't support
reliable stack trace. Remove the check in klp_try_switch_task(),
as its not required.
