Subject: [PATCH tracing/kprobes] kprobes/x86-32: Move irq-exit functions to
	kprobes section

Move irq-exit functions to .kprobes.text section for protecting against
kprobes.

When I ran kprobe stress test on x86-32, I found below symbols causes
unrecoverable recursive probing:
ret_from_exception
ret_from_intr
check_userspace
restore_all
restore_all_notrace
restore_nocheck
irq_return

And also, I found some interrupt/exception entry points will cause
problems.

This patch moves those symbols (including its container functions)
to .kprobes.text section for protecting from kprobes probing.
