[PATCH] powerpc/kprobes: Fix call trace due to incorrect preempt count

[Naveen N. Rao]

Michael Ellerman reported the following call trace when running
ftracetest:

BUG: using __this_cpu_write() in preemptible [00000000] code: ftracetest/6178
caller is opt_pre_handler+0xc4/0x110

This is showing up since OPTPROBES is now enabled with CONFIG_PREEMPT.

trampoline_probe_handler() considers itself to be a special kprobe
handler for kretprobes. In doing so, it expects to be called from
kprobe_handler() on a trap, and re-enables preemption before returning a
non-zero return value so as to suppress any subsequent processing of the
trap by the kprobe_handler().

However, with optprobes, we don't deal with special handlers (we ignore
the return code) and just try to re-enable preemption causing the above
trace.

To address this, modify trampoline_probe_handler() to not be special.
The only additional processing done in kprobe_handler() is to emulate
the instruction (in this case, a 'nop'). We adjust the value of
regs->nip for the purpose and delegate the job of re-enabling
preemption and resetting current kprobe to the probe handlers
(kprobe_handler() or optimized_callback()).
