kprobes: Disable booster when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
Disable kprobe booster when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y at this time, because it can't ensure that all kernel threads preempted on kprobe's boosted slot run out from the slot even using freeze_processes(). The booster on preemptive kernel will be resumed if synchronize_tasks() or something like that is introduced.
