[PATCH -tip 2/2] [BUGFIX] kprobes/x86: Fix removed int3 checking order


Fix kprobe/x86 to check removed int3 when failing to get kprobe
from hlist. Since we have a time window between checking int3
exists on probed address and getting kprobe on that address,
we can have following senario.
-------
CPU1                     CPU2
hit int3
check int3 exists
                         remove int3
                         remove kprobe from hlist
get kprobe from hlist
no kprobe->OOPS!
-------
This patch moves int3 checking if there is no kprobe on that
address for fixing this problem as follows;
------
CPU1                     CPU2
hit int3
                         remove int3
                         remove kprobe from hlist
get kprobe from hlist
no kprobe->check int3 exists
         ->rollback&retry
------
