Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] kprobes: avoid the kprobe being re-registered

Changes:
- We should put the modifies of the kprobe after the re-reg check.
- And then the address_safe check.

Old code use check_kprobe_rereg() to check if the kprobe has been
registered already, but check_kprobe_rereg() will release the
kprobe_mutex then, so maybe two paths will pass the check and
register the same kprobe. This patch put the check inside the mutex.
