[PATCH] riscv: kprobes: Prevent probes in breakpoint handlers

The ftrace selftest multiple_kprobes.tc registers kprobe events on
the first 256 text symbols from /proc/kallsyms. If handle_break() is
selected as a probe target on RISC-V, the breakpoint exception path
can trap again before it reaches the kprobe breakpoint handler. That
recursively enters do_trap_break() and can make the system
unresponsive.
Mark handle_break() and its local probe dispatch helpers as nokprobe
symbols so they are added to the kprobe blacklist, matching other
low-level breakpoint exception paths.
