[Bug kprobes/4183] New: kprobe.symbol_name should be const char *

[jkenisto at us dot ibm dot com]

This is a pre-day-1 bug in the kprobe.symbol_name feature.

Kprobes doesn't scribble on the symbol_name field, so it should be const char *,
not char *.  Kprobes modules that exercise normal "const" hygiene will run afoul
of this bug.  A typical warning message is:
.../const_bug.c:36: warning: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type
