Revert "import-trace: emit warning for malformed traces"

Browse Source 
Memory accesses that don't belong to the preceding IP event in the
trace *do* have a use case:  a hardware interrupt causes the CPU to
push its state onto the (kernel) stack.  At the moment we cannot
distinguish this case from a malformed trace (as we don't record the
occurrence of interrupts), hence this warning needs to be disabled for
now.

This reverts commit 84edd02b6f.
