kprobes: Set unoptimized flag after unoptimizing code
Set the unoptimized flag after confirming the code is completely
unoptimized. Without this fix, when a kprobe hits the intermediate
modified instruction (the first byte is replaced by an INT3, but
later bytes can still be a jump address operand) while unoptimizing,
it can return to the middle byte of the modified code, which causes
an invalid instruction exception in the kernel.
Usually, this is a rare case, but if we put a probe on the function
call while text patching, it always causes a kernel panic as below:
# echo p text_poke+5 > kprobe_events
# echo 1 > events/kprobes/enable
# echo 0 > events/kprobes/enable
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI
RIP: 0010:text_poke+0x9/0x50

text_poke() is used for patching the code in optprobes.
This can happen even if we blacklist text_poke() and other functions,
because there is a small time window during which we show the intermediate
code to other CPUs.
