please check v2, thanks

The trace_do_page_fault function trigger tracepoint
and then handles the actual page fault.

This could lead to error if the tracepoint caused page
fault. The original cr2 value gets lost and the original
page fault handler kills current process with SIGSEGV.

This happens if you record page faults with callchain
data, the user part of it will cause tracepoint handler
to page fault:

  # perf record -g -e exceptions:page_fault_user ls

Fixing this by saving the original cr2 value
and using it after tracepoint handler is done.

v2: Moving the cr2 read before exception_enter, because
    it could trigger tracepoint as well.
