Pull kprobes updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Various kprobes updates, mostly centered around cleaning up the
  no-instrumentation logic.

  Instead of the current per debug facility blacklist, use the more
  generic .noinstr.text approach, combined with a 'noinstr' marker for
  functions.

  Also add instrumentation_begin()/end() to better manage the exact
  place in entry code where instrumentation may be used.

  And add a kprobes blacklist for modules"
