Since introduction of tracing for init functions the in_kernel_space() check is no longer correct, as it ignores the init sections. As a result, when probes are inserted (and disabled) in the init functions, a branch instruction is inserted instead of a nop, which is likely to result in random crashes during boot. Remove the MIPS-specific in_kernel_space() method and replace it with a generic core_kernel_text() that also checks for init sections during system boot stage.
