[PATCH][kprobe] disallow kprobes on emulate_step and branch_taken

["Gui,Jian" <guij@cn.ibm.com>]

Probing on emulate_step function will crash 2.6.18.1 when it is
triggered. This problem is powerpc dependent.

When kprobe is triggered, emulate_step() is on its kernel path and
will cause recursive kprobe fault. And branch_taken() is called
in emulate_step(). This patch can disallow kprobes on both of them.
