[S390] maccess: add weak attribute to probe_kernel_write
probe_kernel_write() gets used to write to the kernel address space. E.g. to patch the kernel (kgdb, ftrace, kprobes...). Some architectures however enable write protection for the kernel text section, so that writes to this region would fault. This patch allows to specify an architecture specific version of probe_kernel_write() which allows to handle and bypass write protection of the text segment. That way it is still possible to catch random writes to kernel text and explicitly allow writes via this interface.
