Subject: [PATCH v6 3.2-rc1 25/28]   uprobes: call post_xol() unconditionally


Kill sstep_complete(), change uprobe_notify_resume() to use
post_xol() unconditionally.

It is wrong to assume that regs->ip always changes after the step.
rep or jmp/call to self for example. We know that this task has
already done the step, we can rely on DIE_DEBUG notification.
