s390/cpum_sf: Ignore lsctl() return code in sf_disable()

Browse source

sf_disable() returns the condition code of instruction lsctl (load
sampling controls). However the parameter to lsctl() in
sf_disable() is a sample control block containing
all zeroes. This invocation of lsctl() does not fail and returns
always zero even when there is no authorization for sampling
on the machine. In short, sampling can be always turned off.
Ignore the return code of sf_disable() and change the function
return to void.
