kprobes: remove called_from argument
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.
