[PATCH v2 1/3] arm64: kprobes: Remove unneeded address sanity check

[AKASHI Takahiro]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat at kernel.org>

Remove unneeded address sanity check in arch_prepare_kprobe().
Since do_debug_exception() is already blacklisted for kprobes, no need
to reject all __exception functions. Also, since generic kprobe
framework already ensures the address is in kernel text, no need to
check it is in rodata again.
