[PATCH] x86: Fix compilation bug in kprobes' twobyte_is_boostable

[Josh Stone <jistone@redhat.com>]

When compiling an i386_defconfig kernel with gcc-4.6.1-9.fc15.i686, I
noticed a warning about the asm operand for test_bit in kprobes'
can_boost.  I discovered that this caused only the first long of
twobyte_is_boostable[] to be output.

Jakub filed and fixed gcc PR50571 to correct the warning and this output
issue.  But to solve it for less current gcc, we can make kprobes'
twobyte_is_boostable[] non-const, and it won't be optimized out.

Before:

Only a single long of twobyte_is_boostable[] is in the object file.

After, without the const on twobyte_is_boostable:

  $ objdump -rd arch/x86/kernel/kprobes.o | grep -A1 -w bt
       551:	0f a3 05 20 00 00 00 	bt     %eax,0x20

  $ objdump -s -j .rodata.cst4 -j .data arch/x86/kernel/kprobes.o

   0030 0000ffff 3bbbfff8 03ff2ebb 26bb2e77  ....;.......&..w

Now all 32 bytes are output into .data instead.
