Subject: [RESEND PATCH tip] x86/idt: Remove X86_TRAP_BP initialization in idt_setup_traps()

Commit b70543a0b2b6("x86/idt: Move regular trap init to tables")
moves regular trap init for each trap vector into a table based
initialization. It introduced the initialization for vector
X86_TRAP_BP which was not in the original change and it breaks
uprobe functionality for x86_32. A program with uprobe
instrumented can have segfault on x86_32 instead of normal finish.
Uprobe still works on x86_64 even with this commit.

This patch removes X86_TRAP_BP from the structure def_idts
which is used in idt_setup_traps(). It also removes a redundant
entry for X86_TRAP_NMI in def_idts. Tested on both x86_64 and x86_32,
uprobe works fine.
