Bisecting the issue led me back to Linux 4.5 and commit 25362dc496ed
("ARM: 8501/1: mm: flip priority of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA")

This sets CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to be enabled by default. If I disable
that on 4.10-rc4, with the three patches in this series, then the ARM
kprobes tests pass OK.

I'll stick the DEBUG_RODATA issue on my todo list (it's been around for
a year, so can probably wait a little longer).
