[PATCH 2/3] disallow kprobes on notifier_call_chain

["bibo,mao" <bibo.mao@intel.com>]

Hi,

When kprobe is re-entered, the re-entered kprobe kernel path will will call atomic_notifier_call_chain function, if this function is kprobed that will incur numerous kprobe recursive fault. This patch disallows kprobes on atomic_notifier_call_chain function.
