kprobes: Introduce NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() macro to maintain kprobes blacklist

Introduce NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() macro which builds a kprobes
blacklist at kernel build time.

The usage of this macro is similar to EXPORT_SYMBOL(),
placed after the function definition:

  NOKPROBE_SYMBOL(function);

Since this macro will inhibit inlining of static/inline
functions, this patch also introduces a nokprobe_inline macro
for static/inline functions. In this case, we must use
NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() for the inline function caller.

When CONFIG_KPROBES=y, the macro stores the given function
address in the "_kprobe_blacklist" section.

Since the data structures are not fully initialized by the
macro (because there is no "size" information),  those
are re-initialized at boot time by using kallsyms.

+1.5 Blacklist
+
+Kprobes can probe most of the kernel except itself. This means
+that there are some functions where kprobes cannot probe. Probing
+(trapping) such functions can cause a recursive trap (e.g. double
+fault) or the nested probe handler may never be called.
+Kprobes manages such functions as a blacklist.
+If you want to add a function into the blacklist, you just need
+to (1) include linux/kprobes.h and (2) use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() macro
+to specify a blacklisted function.
+Kprobes checks the given probe address against the blacklist and
+rejects registering it, if the given address is in the blacklist.

 Kprobes, jprobes, and return probes are implemented on the following
