Subject: livepatch: Remove reliable stacktrace check in klp_try_switch_task()
Git-commit: 1d98a69e5cef3aeb68bcefab0e67e342d6bb4dad
Patch-mainline: v4.19-rc1
References: bsc#1071995

Support for immediate flag was removed by commit d0807da78e11
("livepatch: Remove immediate feature").  We bail out during
patch registration for architectures, those don't support
reliable stack trace. Remove the check in klp_try_switch_task(),
as its not required.
