[PATCH 4/7] uprobes: Kill uprobe_consumer->filter()

[Oleg Nesterov]

uprobe_consumer->filter() is pointless in its current form, kill it.

We will add it back, but with the different signature/semantics. Perhaps
we will even re-introduce the callsite in handler_chain(), but not to
just skip uc->handler().
