[PATCH] kprobes: disable preempt for module_text_address()

[Lai Jiangshan]

__register_kprobe() may be preempted after module_text_address()
but before try_module_get(), and in this interval the module may be
unloaded and try_module_get(probed_mod) will access to invalid address.
this patch uses preempt_disable() to protect it.
