Well done!
This cleans it up very well.
I have just one more comment.

WARN_ON() does not call panic(). Since the kernel doesn't stop,
we need to prepare singlestep after that.

How about this?

 	}
 	save_previous_kprobe(kcb);
 	set_current_kprobe(p, regs, kcb);
 	kprobes_inc_nmissed_count(p);
 	prepare_singlestep(p, regs);
 	kcb->kprobe_status = KPROBE_REENTER;
 	return 1;
 }
