Masami Hiramatsu (Google) 0c4256196b kprobes: Protect kprobe_blacklist with RCU
__within_kprobe_blacklist() traverses kprobe_blacklist without holding
kprobe_mutex. When a module is unloaded, kprobe_remove_area_blacklist()
removes blacklist entries and immediately frees them with kfree().
A concurrent call to within_kprobe_blacklist() can therefore dereference
freed memory.

Furthermore, within_kprobe_blacklist() can be called in atomic or
non-preemptible contexts where the sleeping kprobe_mutex cannot be taken.

Protect kprobe_blacklist with RCU. Use guard(rcu)() and
list_for_each_entry_rcu() for traversal, list_add_tail_rcu() for
insertions, list_del_rcu() for deletions, and kfree_rcu() to reclaim
entries safely after a grace period.
