Subject: [PATCH v2 3.16] x86,kprobes: Don't try to resolve kprobe faults from userspace

This commit:

    commit 6f6343f53d133bae516caf3d254bce37d8774625

        kprobes/x86: Call exception handlers directly from do_int3/do_debug

appears to have inadvertently dropped a check that the int3 came
from kernel mode.  Trying to dereference addr when addr is
user-controlled is completely bogus.
