kprobes: support probing module __exit function

Allows kprobes to probe __exit routine.  This adds flags member to struct
kprobe.  When module is freed(kprobes hooks module_notifier to get this
event), kprobes which probe the functions in that module are set to "Gone"
flag to the flags member.  These "Gone" probes are never be enabled.
Users can check the GONE flag through debugfs.

This also removes mod_refcounted, because we couldn't free a module if
kprobe incremented the refcount of that module.
