Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] tracing: kprobes: Prohibit probing on notrace function

Prohibit kprobe-events probing on notrace function.
Since probing on the notrace function can cause recursive
event call. In most case those are just skipped, but
in some case it falls into infinit recursive call.

This protection can be disabled by the kconfig
CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS_ON_NOTRACE=y, but it is highly
recommended to keep it "n" for normal kernel.

---
  Changes in v2
   - Add CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS_ON_NOTRACE kconfig for knocking down
     the protection.
  Changes in v3
   - Fix to check raw-address (no symbol) probe point correctly.

+	  which leads to a kernel crash.
+
+	  This option disables such protection and allows you to put kprobe
