Revert "kprobes: Warn if optprobe handler tries to change execution path"

This reverts commit:

  e863d539614641 ("kprobes: Warn if optprobe handler tries to change execution path")

On PowerPC, we place a probe at kretprobe_trampoline to catch function
returns and with CONFIG_OPTPROBES=y, this probe gets optimized. This
works for us due to the way we handle the optprobe as described in
commit:

  762df10bad6954 ("powerpc/kprobes: Optimize kprobe in kretprobe_trampoline()")

With the above commit, we end up with a warning. As such, revert this change.
