[PATCH 1/7] x86/debug: Allow a single level of #DB recursion

[Peter Zijlstra]

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>

Trying to clear DR7 around a #DB from usermode malfunctions if we
schedule when delivering SIGTRAP.  Rather than trying to define a
special no-recursion region, just allow a single level of recursion.
We do the same thing for NMI, and it hasn't caused any problems yet.

Fixes: 9f58fdde95c9 ("x86/db: Split out dr6/7 handling")
