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 a
kernel panic.
However, if the kprobe is not optimized, it triggers an int3
exception and sets segment registers correctly.
With this patch we check the probe-address and if it is in the
irq-entry code, it prohibits optimizing such kprobes.
This means we can continue probing such interrupt handlers by kprobes
but it is not optimized anymore.
