[PATCH -tip v11 4/7] kprobes/x86: Remove unneeded preempt_disable/enable in interrupt handlers

[Masami Hiramatsu]

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.
