[RFC PATCH 1/9] livepatch: simplify disable error path

[Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com>]

If registering the function with ftrace has previously succeeded,
unregistering will almost never fail.  Even if it does, it's not a fatal
error.  We can still carry on and disable the klp_func from being used
by removing it from the klp_ops func stack.
