kprobes: Allow probe on some kprobe functions

There is no need to prohibit probing on the functions
used for preparation, registeration, optimization,
controll etc. Those are safely probed because those are
not invoked from breakpoint/fault/debug handlers,
there is no chance to cause recursive exceptions.

Following functions are now removed from the kprobes blacklist:

add_new_kprobe
aggr_kprobe_disabled
alloc_aggr_kprobe
alloc_aggr_kprobe
arm_all_kprobes
__arm_kprobe
arm_kprobe
arm_kprobe_ftrace
check_kprobe_address_safe
collect_garbage_slots
collect_garbage_slots
collect_one_slot
debugfs_kprobe_init
__disable_kprobe
disable_kprobe
disarm_all_kprobes
__disarm_kprobe
disarm_kprobe
disarm_kprobe_ftrace
do_free_cleaned_kprobes
do_optimize_kprobes
do_unoptimize_kprobes
enable_kprobe
force_unoptimize_kprobe
free_aggr_kprobe
free_aggr_kprobe
__free_insn_slot
__get_insn_slot
get_optimized_kprobe
__get_valid_kprobe
init_aggr_kprobe
init_aggr_kprobe
in_nokprobe_functions
kick_kprobe_optimizer
kill_kprobe
kill_optimized_kprobe
kprobe_addr
kprobe_optimizer
kprobe_queued
kprobe_seq_next
kprobe_seq_start
kprobe_seq_stop
kprobes_module_callback
kprobes_open
optimize_all_kprobes
optimize_kprobe
prepare_kprobe
prepare_optimized_kprobe
register_aggr_kprobe
register_jprobe
register_jprobes
register_kprobe
register_kprobes
register_kretprobe
register_kretprobe
register_kretprobes
register_kretprobes
report_probe
show_kprobe_addr
try_to_optimize_kprobe
unoptimize_all_kprobes
unoptimize_kprobe
unregister_jprobe
unregister_jprobes
unregister_kprobe
__unregister_kprobe_bottom
unregister_kprobes
__unregister_kprobe_top
unregister_kretprobe
unregister_kretprobe
unregister_kretprobes
unregister_kretprobes
wait_for_kprobe_optimizer

I tested those functions by putting kprobes on all
instructions in the functions with the bash script
I sent to LKML. See:
