ftrace: Remove incorrect setting of glob search field 

commit 7b65865627 upstream.

__unregister_ftrace_function_probe() will incorrectly parse the glob filter
because it resets the search variable that was setup by filter_parse_regex().

Al Viro reported this:

    After that call of filter_parse_regex() we could have func_g.search not
    equal to glob only if glob started with '!' or '*'.  In the former case
    we would've buggered off with -EINVAL (not = 1).  In the latter we
    would've set func_g.search equal to glob + 1, calculated the length of
    that thing in func_g.len and proceeded to reset func_g.search back to
    glob.

    Suppose the glob is e.g. *foo*.  We end up with
	    func_g.type = MATCH_MIDDLE_ONLY;
	    func_g.len = 3;
	    func_g.search = "*foo";
    Feeding that to ftrace_match_record() will not do anything sane - we
    will be looking for names containing "*foo" (->len is ignored for that
    one).
