Applied, with the following committer notes added:

    Committer notes:
    
    IOW make it match its kernel counterpart in kernel/kprobes.c:
    
      bool within_kprobe_blacklist(unsigned long addr)
    
    Each entry have as its end address not its end address, but the first
    address _outside_ that symbol, which for related functions, is the first
    address of the next symbol, like these from kernel/trace/trace_probe.c:
    
    0xffffffffbd198df0-0xffffffffbd198e40   print_type_u8
    0xffffffffbd198e40-0xffffffffbd198e90   print_type_u16
    0xffffffffbd198e90-0xffffffffbd198ee0   print_type_u32
    0xffffffffbd198ee0-0xffffffffbd198f30   print_type_u64
    0xffffffffbd198f30-0xffffffffbd198f80   print_type_s8
    0xffffffffbd198f80-0xffffffffbd198fd0   print_type_s16
    0xffffffffbd198fd0-0xffffffffbd199020   print_type_s32
    0xffffffffbd199020-0xffffffffbd199070   print_type_s64
    0xffffffffbd199070-0xffffffffbd1990c0   print_type_x8
    0xffffffffbd1990c0-0xffffffffbd199110   print_type_x16
    0xffffffffbd199110-0xffffffffbd199160   print_type_x32
    0xffffffffbd199160-0xffffffffbd1991b0   print_type_x64
    
    But not always:
    
    0xffffffffbd1997b0-0xffffffffbd1997c0   fetch_kernel_stack_address (kernel/trace/trace_probe.c)
    0xffffffffbd1c57f0-0xffffffffbd1c58b0   __context_tracking_enter   (kernel/context_tracking.c)
