kprobes: Warn if optprobe handler tries to change execution path
Warn if optprobe handler tries to change execution path. As described in Documentation/kprobes.txt, with optprobe user handler can not change instruction pointer. In that case user must avoid optimizing the kprobes by setting post_handler or break_handler.
