uprobes: Initialize uprobes earlier



In order to have a separate address space for text poking, we need to
duplicate init_mm early during start_kernel(). This, however, introduces
a problem since uprobes functions are called from dup_mmap(), but
uprobes is still not initialized in this early stage.

Since uprobes initialization is necassary for fork, and since all the
dependant initialization has been done when fork is initialized (percpu
and vmalloc), move uprobes initialization to fork_init(). It does not
seem uprobes introduces any security problem for the poking_mm.

Crash and burn if uprobes initialization fails, similarly to other early
initializations. Change the init_probes() name to probes_init() to match
other early initialization functions name convention.
