[PATCH] Kprobes ia64 cleanup

A cleanup of the ia64 kprobes implementation such that all of the bundle
manipulation logic is concentrated in arch_prepare_kprobe().

With the current design for kprobes, the arch specific code only has a
chance to return failure inside the arch_prepare_kprobe() function.

This patch moves all of the work that was happening in arch_copy_kprobe()
and most of the work that was happening in arch_arm_kprobe() into
arch_prepare_kprobe().  By doing this we can add further robustness checks
in arch_arm_kprobe() and refuse to insert kprobes that will cause problems.
