kernel_text_address returns ftrace_trampoline, kprobe_insn_slot and bpf_text_address as kprobe legal address. These text are removable and changeable without any notifier to kprobes. Probing on them can trigger some unexpected behavior[1]. Considering that jump_label and static_call text are already be forbiden to probe, kernel_text_address should be replaced with core_kernel_text and is_module_text_address to check other text which is unsafe to kprobe.

Also fix title and commit message for this.
