[PATCH][bugfix?][kprobes][vunmap?]: use vm_map_ram() in text_poke()

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Use vm_map_ram() instead of vmap() in text_poke(), because text_poke()
just want to map pages temporarily.

---
As far as I tested, this patch works fine for me.
However, there might be another hidden bug in the kernel...
We need to fix that too.
