[PATCH -tip v8 23/26] kprobes/x86: Remove unneeded preempt_disable/enable in interrupt handlers

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Wed Mar 05 2014 - 07:01:45 EST


Since the int3 itself disables the local_irq and kprobes
keeps it disabled while the single step has done, the
kernel preemption never happen while processing a kprobe.
This means that we don't need to disable/enable preemption.
Also, this changes kprobe_int3_handler to use goto-out style.
