    Fix kprobe/x86 to check removed int3 when failing to get kprobe
    from hlist. Since we have a time window between checking int3
    exists on probed address and getting kprobe on that address,
    we can have following scenario:
    
     -------
     CPU1                     CPU2
     hit int3
     check int3 exists
                              remove int3
                              remove kprobe from hlist
     get kprobe from hlist
     no kprobe->OOPS!
     -------
    
    This patch moves int3 checking if there is no kprobe on that
    address for fixing this problem as follows:
    
     ------
     CPU1                     CPU2
     hit int3
                              remove int3
                              remove kprobe from hlist
     get kprobe from hlist
     no kprobe->check int3 exists
              ->rollback&retry
     ------
