[RFC PATCH tip/master V3 4/8] kprobes/x86: Do not modify singlestep buffer while resuming

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Do not modify singlestep execution buffer (kprobe.ainsn.insn)
while resuming from single-stepping, instead, modifies
the buffer to add a jump back instruction at preparing
buffer.

  Changes in v3:
   - Fix imbalance curly braces.
   - Remove unneeded (void *) casting.
