[PATCH] kprobes: x86: cleanup __recover_probed_insn().

[Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com>]

Since kernel kconfig forbids turning off KPROBES_ON_FTRACE for x86, we
don't need to consider the situation that a kprobe probing on a ftrace
location. The only exception should be early kprobe with
KPROBES_ON_FTRACE enabled. However, it is still impossible for it to get
a tainted by ftrace if it is registered before ftrace is ready.

Thus this patch removes unneed logic to make code simpler.
