When access type is changed, the hw break point will be
unregistered and then be registered again with new access
type. But the registration may fail, in this case, -errno
should be returned.

Reading ksym_trace_filter gave me some arbitrary characters,
when it should show nothing. It's because buf is not initialized
when there's no filter.
Also reduce stack usage by about 512 bytes.

struct trace_ksym is used as an entry in hbp list, and is also
used as trace_entry stored in ring buffer.
This is not necessary and is a waste of memory in ring buffer.
There is also a bug that dereferencing field->ksym_hbp in
ksym_trace_output() can be invalid.

ksym_tracer_mutex is declared inside an #ifdef CONFIG_PROFILE_KSYM_TRACER
section. This makes it unavailable for the hardware breakpoint tracer if it is
configured without the breakpoint profiler.
This patch fixes the following build error:
kernel/trace/trace_ksym.c: In function ‘ksym_trace_filter_read’:
kernel/trace/trace_ksym.c:226: erreur: ‘ksym_tracer_mutex’ undeclared (first use in this function)

This patch adds an ftrace plugin to detect and profile memory access over kernel
variables. It uses HW Breakpoint interfaces to 'watch memory addresses.
