On powerpc we will be able to resolve the *iter to func_descr and won't
get the below error with/without this patch. So we have to actually
verify the kprobe_blacklist contents to make sure everything is alright.

There is a bug here.
You need to set the ent->start using the function_entry(*iter) and not
*iter. Or else you just avoid the 'Warning' and still have an invalid
black list. As shown below :

    2e:mon> ls kprobe_blacklist
    kprobe_blacklist: c00000000104dad0
    2e:mon> d c00000000104dad0 10

                      start ^^         end ^^
    2e:mon> la c0000000010ef138 (start)
    c0000000010ef138: notify_die+0x0/0x10 <- still points to the
function descriptor

Following patch fixes the issue, with the patch :
