[PATCH] x86/kprobes: remove free_insn_page since it is same with the common weak function

From: Barry Song
Date: Tue Jun 01 2021 - 00:18:25 EST


free_insn_page() in x86 is same with the common weak function in
kernel/kprobes.c. Plus, its comment "Recover page to RW mode before
releasing it" seems insensible to be there since resetting mapping
is done by common code in vfree() of module_memfree().
So drop the strong function and its comment in x86 totally.
