[Dle-develop] [PATCH -tip tracing/kprobes 1/6] kprobes/x86: Call BUG() when reentering probe into KPROBES_HIT_SS

[Masami H. <mhi...@re...>]

Call BUG() when a probe have been hit on the way of kprobe processing path,
because that kind of probes are currently unrecoverable (recovering it will
cause an infinit loop and stack overflow).

The original code seems to assume that it will be caused by an int3 which
another subsystem inserted on out-of-line singlestep buffer if the hitting
probe is same as current probe. However, in that case, int3-hitting-address
is on the out-of-line buffer and should be different from first (current)
int3 address.
Thus, I decided to remove the code.

I also removes arch_disarm_kprobe() because it will involve other stuffs
in text_poke().
