[Bug translator/2639] New: Probes on "__kprobes" functions should not be allowed

[joshua dot i dot stone at intel dot com]

Similar to bug #2506, probes should be disallowed at compile time for addresses
within __kprobes functions.

On the surface it seems like we could just examine the section-name of the probe
address and make sure it's not .kprobes.text.  It's not that straightforward
though, because the kernel folds .kprobes.text into the main .text section in
"arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S".
