This reverts commit b6959a362177 ("x86/unwind: Detect bad stack return address").
Andrey Konovalov reported an unwinder warning: WARNING: unrecognized kernel stack return address ffffffffa0000001 at ffff88006377fa18 in a.out:4467 The unwind was initiated from an interrupt which occurred while running in the generated code for a kprobe. The unwinder printed the warning because it expected regs->ip to point to a valid text address, but instead it pointed to the generated code. Eventually we may want come up with a way to identify generated kprobe code so the unwinder can know that it's a valid return address. Until then, just remove the warning.
