[PATCH] Kprobes: Use RCU for (un)register synchronization - base changes

Changes to the base kprobes infrastructure to use RCU for synchronization
during kprobe registration and unregistration.  These changes coupled with the
arch kprobe changes (next in series):

a. serialize registration and unregistration of kprobes.
b. enable lockless execution of handlers. Handlers can now run in parallel.
