[PATCH v3 1/4] kprobes: delay blacklist symbol lookup until we actually need it

[Oskar Andero <oskar.andero@sonymobile.com>]

From: Toby Collett <toby.collett@sonymobile.com>

The symbol lookup can take a long time and kprobes is
initialised very early in boot, so delay symbol lookup
until the blacklist is first used.
