Subject: [RFC PATCH -tip 2/5] kprobes: Abolish jprobe APIs

Abolish jprobe APIs and comment out the jprobe API function
code. This is a preparation of removing all jprobe related
code (including kprobe's break_handler)

Nowadays ftrace and other tracing features are enough matured
to replace jprobe use-cases. Users can safely use ftrace and
perf probe etc. for their use cases.
