Recover original IP register if the pre_handler doesn't change it.
Since current kprobes doesn't expect that another ftrace handler
may change regs->ip, it sets kprobe.addr + MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE to
regs->ip and returns to ftrace.
This seems wrong behavior since kprobes can recover regs->ip
and safely pass it to another handler.
This adds code which recovers original regs->ip passed from
ftrace right before returning to ftrace, so that another ftrace
user can change regs->ip.

There is no need to prohibit probing on the functions
used in preparation phase. Those are safely probed because
those are not invoked from breakpoint/fault/debug handlers,
there is no chance to cause recursive exceptions.
Following functions are now removed from the kprobes blacklist:
can_boost
can_probe
can_optimize
is_IF_modifier
__copy_instruction
copy_optimized_instructions
arch_copy_kprobe
arch_prepare_kprobe
arch_arm_kprobe
arch_disarm_kprobe
arch_remove_kprobe
arch_trampoline_kprobe
arch_prepare_kprobe_ftrace
arch_prepare_optimized_kprobe
arch_check_optimized_kprobe
arch_within_optimized_kprobe
__arch_remove_optimized_kprobe
arch_remove_optimized_kprobe
arch_optimize_kprobes
arch_unoptimize_kprobe
I tested those functions by putting kprobes on all
instructions in the functions with the bash script
I sent to LKML. See:
