tracing, Text Edit Lock - kprobes architecture independent support

Use the mutual exclusion provided by the text edit lock in the kprobes code. It
allows coherent manipulation of the kernel code by other subsystems.

Changelog:

Move the kernel_text_lock/unlock out of the for loops.
Use text_mutex directly instead of a function.
Remove whitespace modifications.

(note : kprobes_mutex is always taken outside of text_mutex)
