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 scenario:

 -------
 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
 ------
