ARM: kprobes: Fix compilation error caused by superfluous '*'

There is a superfluous '*' in the definition of kprobe_decode_insn_t
which on older versions of GCC (4.2.4) causes the compilation error:

In file included from arch/arm/probes/kprobes/core.c:37:
arch/arm/probes/kprobes/core.h:43: error: '[*]' not allowed in other than a declaration

Fix this by removing the unneeded character.

ARM: kprobes: enable OPTPROBES for ARM 32

This patch introduce kprobeopt for ARM 32.

Limitations:
- Currently only kernel compiled with ARM ISA is supported.

- Offset between probe point and optinsn slot must not larger than
32MiB. Masami Hiramatsu suggests replacing 2 words, it will make
things complex. Futher patch can make such optimization.

Kprobe opt on ARM is relatively simpler than kprobe opt on x86 because
ARM instruction is always 4 bytes aligned and 4 bytes long. This patch
replace probed instruction by a 'b', branch to trampoline code and then
calls optimized_callback(). optimized_callback() calls opt_pre_handler()
to execute kprobe handler. It also emulate/simulate replaced instruction.

When unregistering kprobe, the deferred manner of unoptimizer may leave
branch instruction before optimizer is called. Different from x86_64,
which only copy the probed insn after optprobe_template_end and
reexecute them, this patch call singlestep to emulate/simulate the insn
directly. Futher patch can optimize this behavior.

ARM: kprobes: introduces checker

This patch introdces 'checker' to decoding phase, and calls checkers
when instruction decoding. This allows further decoding for specific
instructions. This patch introduces a stub call of checkers in kprobe
arch_prepare_kprobe() as an example and for further expansion.

ARM: probes: move all probe code to dedicate directory

In discussion on LKML (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/28/158), Russell
King suggests to move all probe related code to arch/arm/probes. This
patch does the work. Due to dependency on 'arch/arm/kernel/patch.h', this
patch also moves patch.h to 'arch/arm/include/asm/patch.h', and related
'#include' directives are also midified to '#include <asm/patch.h>'.
