uprobes: kill the unnecessary put_uprobe/xol_free_insn_slot in uprobe_free_utask()

If pre_ssout() succeeds and sets utask->active_uprobe and utask->xol_vaddr
the task must not exit until it calls handle_singlestep() which does the
necessary put_uprobe() and xol_free_insn_slot().

Remove put_uprobe() and xol_free_insn_slot() from uprobe_free_utask(). With
this change xol_free_insn_slot() can't hit xol_area/utask/xol_vaddr == NULL,
we can kill the unnecessary checks checks and simplify this function more.
