[PATCH] kprobes: fix race in recovery of reentrant probe

There is a window where a probe gets removed right after the probe is hit
on some different cpu.  In this case probe handlers can't find a matching
probe instance related to break address.  In this case we need to read the
original instruction at break address to see if that is not a break/int3
instruction and recover safely.

Previous code had a bug where we were not checking for the above race in
case of reentrant probes and the below patch fixes this race.

Tested on IA64, Powerpc, x86_64.
