Kprobes - no kprobes_mutex needed around arch_remove_kprobe calls.
Since we have the new insn pages mutex, there is no need to protect
arch_remove_kprobe() with the kprobes_mutex anymore. We don't edit the
kernel text there neither, so don't take the text edit lock.
This patch applies after
text-edit-lock-kprobes-architecture-independent.patch
