kprobes: disable preempt for module_text_address() and kernel_text_address()
__register_kprobe() can be preempted after checking probing address but before module_text_address() or try_module_get(), and in this interval the module can be unloaded. In that case, try_module_get(probed_mod) will access to invalid address, or kprobe will probe invalid address. This patch uses preempt_disable() to protect it and uses __module_text_address() and __kernel_text_address().
