[RFC PATCH 3/4] kgdb: Add NOKPROBE labels on the trap handler functions

[Daniel Thompson]

Currently kgdb honours the kprobe blacklist but doesn't place its own
trap handling code on the list. Add macros to discourage attempting to
use kgdb to debug itself.

These changes do not make it impossible to provoke recursive trapping
since they do not cover all the calls that can be made on kgdb's entry
logic. However going much further whilst we are sharing the kprobe
blacklist risks reducing the capabilities of kprobe and this is a bad
trade off (especially so given kgdb's users are currently conditioned to
avoid recursive traps).
