kprobes: Use text_poke_smp_batch for optimizing
Use text_poke_smp_batch() in optimization path for reducing the number of stop_machine() issues. If the number of optimizing probes is more than MAX_OPTIMIZE_PROBES(=256), kprobes optimizes first MAX_OPTIMIZE_PROBES probes and kicks optimizer for remaining probes. Changes in v5: - Use kick_kprobe_optimizer() instead of directly calling schedule_delayed_work(). - Rescheduling optimizer outside of kprobe mutex lock. Changes in v2: - Allocate code buffer and parameters in arch_init_kprobes() instead of using static arraies. - Merge previous max optimization limit patch into this patch. So, this patch introduces upper limit of optimization at once.
