Since arm64 kernel initializes breakpoint trap vector in arch_initcall(),
initializing kprobe (and run smoke test) in postcore_initcall() causes
a kernel panic.

To fix this issue, move the kprobe initialization in subsys_initcall()
(which is called right afer the arch_initcall).

In-kernel kprobe users (ftrace and bpf) are using fs_initcall() which is
called after subsys_initcall(), so this shouldn't cause more problem.
