Subject: [PATCH] livepatch: Remove reliable stacktrace check in klp_try_switch_task()
Date:   Thu, 12 Jul 2018 13:35:06 +0530
Message-Id: <1531382706-9732-1-git-send-email-kamalesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Support for immediate flag was removed by commit d0807da78e11
("livepatch: Remove immediate feature").  We bail out during
patch registration for architectures, those don't support
reliable stack trace. Remove the check in klp_try_switch_task(),
as its not required.
