[PATCH 5/7] kprobes: Remove called_from argument

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Remove called_from argument from kprobes which had been used for preventing
self-refering of kernel module. However, since we don't keep module's refcount
after registering kprobe any more, there is no reason to check that.

This patch also simplifies registering/unregistering functions because we don't
need to use __builtin_return_address(0) which was passed to called_from.
