ARM kprobes: special hook for the kprobes breakpoint handler
The kprobes code is already able to cope with reentrant probes, so its handler must be called outside of the region protected by undef_lock. If ever this lock is released when handlers are called then this commit could be reverted. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@marvell.com>
