Subject: [PATCH v2] kprobes: add a new module parameter

This patch adds a new module parameter which can be used as the
symbol name. Without this patch, we can only test the "_do_fork" function
with this kernel module. With this patch, the module becomes more flexable,
we can test any functions with this module with:
   #insmod kprobe_example.ko symbol="xxx"
