tracepoint: Do not fail unregistering a probe due to memory failure

The list of tracepoint callbacks is managed by an array that is protected
by RCU. To update this array, a new array is allocated, the updates are
copied over to the new array, and then the list of functions for the
tracepoint is switched over to the new array. After a completion of an RCU
grace period, the old array is freed.

This process happens for both adding a callback as well as removing one.
But on removing a callback, if the new array fails to be allocated, the
callback is not removed, and may be used after it is freed by the clients
of the tracepoint.

There's really no reason to fail if the allocation for a new array fails
when removing a function. Instead, the function can simply be replaced by a
stub function that could be cleaned up on the next modification of the
array. That is, instead of calling the function registered to the
tracepoint, it would call a stub function in its place.

[ Note, this version does use undefined compiler behavior (assuming that
  a stub function with no parameters or return, can be called by a location
  that thinks it has parameters but still no return value. Static calls
  do the same thing, so this trick is not without precedent.

  There's another solution that uses RCU tricks and is more complex, but
  can be an alternative if this solution becomes an issue.
