You don't need this block, because these APIs have dummy functions.

So this block never be true if !CONFIG_MODULES automatically, and it should be
optimized out by compiler.

I think this block should be moved right before 
remove_module_kprobe_blacklist().
Then we can gather the code depending on modules in one place.

So, keep the kprobe_module_nb outside of this #ifdef as I sed.

Then we don't need this #ifdef.

As I similar to the above, let's move trace_kprobe_module_nb outside
of #ifdef.

And remove this #ifdef.

Thank you!
