[PATCH v2 14/16] kallsyms: Mark the kernel text address checks notrace

Commit c0d80ddab899 ("kernel/extable.c: mark core_kernel_text notrace")
made core_kernel_text() notrace, because the MIPS function graph tracer
calls it and tracing it recursed without bound. core_kernel_text()
calls is_kernel_text() and is_kernel_inittext(), and is_kernel_text()
calls __is_kernel_text(). These are plain inline functions, so an
out-of-line copy of any of them is untraced only because inline implies
notrace.

Mark them notrace explicitly. No functional change.
