Since the kernel segment registers are not prepared at the
entry of irq-entry code, if a kprobe on such code is
jump-optimized, accessing per-cpu variables may cause
kernel panic.
However, if the kprobe is not optimized, it kicks int3
exception and set segment registers correctly.

This checks probe-address and if it is in irq-entry code,
it prohibits optimizing such kprobes. This means we can
continuously probing such interrupt handlers by kprobes
but it is not optimized anymore.

 Changes in V2:
  - Make changes in kprobe/opt.c local, not involving unwind,
    since it requires CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y (Thanks Mathieu!)
