[Dle-develop] [PATCH -tip 2/5] kprobes: Limit maximum number of optimization at once

[Masami H. <mhi...@re...>]

Since text_poke_smp() uses stop_machine(), the machine almost
stop a while if we optimize a lot of probes at once. This patch
limits the maximum number of probes to optimize (means calling
text_poke_smp()) at once, and try it again after a while if
there are more probes waiting for optimization than the
limitation.
