lkdtm: add debugfs access and loosen KPROBE ties

Add adds a debugfs interface and additional failure modes to LKDTM to
provide similar functionality to the provoke-crash driver submitted here:

  http://lwn.net/Articles/371208/

Crashes can now be induced either through module parameters (as before)
or through the debugfs interface as in provoke-crash.

The patch also provides a new "direct" interface, where KPROBES are not
used, i.e., the crash is invoked directly upon write to the debugfs
file. When built without KPROBES configured, only this mode is available.
