[PATCH -mm 2/5] kprobes: add (un)register_kprobes for batch registration

[PATCH -mm 2/5] kprobes: add (un)register_kprobes for batch registration

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Introduce unregister_/register_kprobes() for kprobe batch
registration. This can reduce waiting time for
synchronized_sched() when a lot of probes have to be
unregistered at once.

I rewrote a patchset which had been discussed on LKML,
and simplified its interfaces.
