Currently kgdb honours the kprobe blocklist but doesn't place its own
trap handling code on the list. Add labels to discourage attempting to
use kgdb to debug itself.
These changes do not make it impossible to provoke recursive trapping
since they do not cover all the calls that can be made on kgdb's entry
logic. However going much further whilst we are sharing the kprobe
blocklist risks reducing the capabilities of kprobe and this would be a
bad trade off (especially so given kgdb's users are currently conditioned
to avoid recursive traps).
