kprobes: Protect kprobe_blacklist with RCU

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: kprobes: Protect kprobe_blacklist with RCU __within_kprobe_blacklist() traverses kprobe_blacklist without holding kprobe_mutex. When a module is unloaded, kprobe_remove_area_blacklist() removes blacklist entries and immediately frees them with kfree(). A concurrent call to within_kprobe_blacklist() can therefore dereference freed memory. Furthermore, within_kprobe_blacklist() can be called in atomic or non-preemptible contexts where the sleeping kprobe_mutex cannot be taken. Protect kprobe_blacklist with RCU. Use guard(rcu)() and list_for_each_entry_rcu() for traversal, list_add_tail_rcu() for insertions, list_del_rcu() for deletions, and kfree_rcu() to reclaim entries safely after a grace period.
