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.
