Indeed, this is not needed any more (since we don't use pre-dump advice
any more) nor is it working (ever since nadvice.el was made to use OClosures).

[ BTW, I consider this to a be long standing bug in
  `Snarf-documentation`.  But since it's very unusual to call this
  function after dumping, it's a low-priority issue.  ]
