kprobes: Support delayed unoptimizing
Unoptimization occurs when a probe is unregistered or disabled, and is heavy because it recovers instructions by using stop_machine(). This patch delays unoptimization operations and unoptimize several probes at once by using text_poke_smp_batch(). This can avoid unexpected system slowdown coming from stop_machine(). Changes in v5: - Split this patch into several cleanup patches and this patch. - Fix some text_mutex lock miss. - Use bool instead of int for behavior flags. - Add additional comment for (un)optimizing path. Changes in v2: - Use dynamic allocated buffers and params.
