[RFT PATCH -next ] [BUGFIX] kprobes: Fix "Failed to find blacklist" error on ia64 and ppc64

On ia64 and ppc64, the function pointer does not point the
entry address of the function, but the address of function
discriptor (which contains the entry address and misc
data.) Since the kprobes passes the function pointer stored
by NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() to kallsyms_lookup_size_offset() for
initalizing its blacklist, it fails and reports many errors
as below.

To fix this bug, this introduces function_entry() macro to
retrieve the entry address from the given function pointer,
and uses it in NOKPROBE_SYMBOL().
