Subject: [PATCH] Kprobes - fixup the pagefault exception caused by probehandlers

If the user-specified kprobe handler causes the page fault
when accessing user space address, fixup this fault since
do_page_fault() should not continue as the kprobe handler are
run with preemption disabled.

Please apply.
