[PATCH] x86: kprobes change kprobe_handler flow

[Harvey Harrison]

Make the control flow of kprobe_handler more obvious.

Collapse the separate if blocks/gotos with if/else blocks
this unifies the duplication of the check for a breakpoint
instruction race with another cpu.

Create two jump targets:
	preempt_out: re-enables preemption before returning ret
	out: only returns ret

Masami, noticed a small bug in the previous version in the !p
case when the breakpoint was the kernel's.  Please review this
version.
