So we basically need a very simple fix,

	- DO_ERROR_INFO(..., regs->ip)
	+ DO_ERROR_INFO(..., uprobe_get_trap_addr(regs))

but it is not easy to change these define's, this series tries to cleanup and
simplify this code first.

Note: initially I was going to send more changes. For example, after this series
we can convert math_error() into the "normal" DO_ERROR() user, and most probably
we can do the same with do_general_protection().

But let me send the initial changes first for review. If they pass the review
and if nobody objects, I'd like to route them along with the pending uprobes
fixes.

Oleg.
