kprobes/x86: Call exception handlers directly from do_int3/do_debug



To avoid a kernel crash by probing on lockdep code, call
kprobe_int3_handler() and kprobe_debug_handler()(which was
formerly called post_kprobe_handler()) directly from
do_int3 and do_debug.

Currently kprobes uses notify_die() to hook the int3/debug
exceptoins. Since there is a locking code in notify_die,
the lockdep code can be invoked. And because the lockdep
involves printk() related things, theoretically, we need to
prohibit probing on such code, which means much longer blacklist
we'll have. Instead, hooking the int3/debug for kprobes before
notify_die() can avoid this problem.

Anyway, most of the int3 handlers in the kernel are already
called from do_int3 directly, e.g. ftrace_int3_handler,
poke_int3_handler, kgdb_ll_trap. Actually only
kprobe_exceptions_notify is on the notifier_call_chain.
