[PATCH]Fix the order of atomic operations in restore_previous_kprobeson ia64

From: Masami Hiramatsu

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>

Fix the order of atomic operations to prevent overwriting prev_kprobe[0].
To pop values from stack, we must decrement stack index right AFTER
reading values.
