Subject: [PATCH] kprobes: Fix to handle forcibly unoptimized kprobes on
freeing_list

Since forcibly unoptimized kprobes will be put on the freeing_list directly in the unoptimize_kprobe(), do_unoptimize_kprobes() must continue to check the freeing_list even if unoptimizing_list is empty.

This bug can happen if a kprobe is put in an instruction which is in the middle of the jump-replaced instruction sequence of an optprobe, *and* the optprobe is recently unregistered and queued on unoptimizing_list. In this case, the optprobe will be unoptimized forcibly (means immediately) and put it into the freeing_list, expecting the optprobe will be handled in do_unoptimize_kprobe().
But if there is no other optprobes on the unoptimizing_list, current code returns from the do_unoptimize_kprobe() soon and does not handle the optprobe which is on the freeing_list. Then the optprobe will hit the WARN_ON_ONCE() in the do_free_cleaned_kprobes(), because it is not handled in the latter loop of the do_unoptimize_kprobe().

To solve this issue, do not return from do_unoptimize_kprobes() immediately even if unoptimizing_list is empty.

Moreover, this change affects another case. kill_optimized_kprobes() expects kprobe_optimizer() will just free the optprobe on freeing_list. So I changed it to just do list_move() to freeing_list if optprobes are on unoptimizing list. And the do_unoptimize_kprobe() will skip arch_disarm_kprobe() if the probe on freeing_list has gone flag.
