Instead of overwriting dead code with jmp -1 instructions
remove it completely for root.  Adjust verifier state and
line info appropriately.

v2:
 - adjust func_info (Alexei);
 - make sure first instruction retains line info (Alexei).
v4: (Yonghong)
 - remove unnecessary if (!insn to remove) checks;
 - always keep last line info if first live instruction lacks one.
v5: (Martin Lau)
 - improve and clarify comments.

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
