SubjectRe: [PATCH] kprobes: disable preempt for module_text_address()

I don't think that coding style is a good reason not to fix it...:(

Anyway, I think the issue that you pointed must be fixed.
I found there were same kind of issues in kprobes and updated
your patch. This includes fixes which Hiroshi pointed out.

Thanks a lot! :)

__register_kprobe() can be preempted after checking probing address
but before try_module_get() or module_put(), and in this interval the
module can be unloaded. In that case, try_module_get(probed_mod) or
module_put(mod) will access to invalid address, or kprobe will probe
invalid address.

this patch uses preempt_disable() to protect it and use
__module_text_address() and __kernel_text_address().
