Subject: [PATCH -tip v3 3/3] x86/kprobes: Fix to avoid kretprobe recursion

Fix to avoid kretprobe recursion loop by setting a dummy
kprobes to current_kprobe per-cpu variable.

This bug has been introduced with the asm-coded trampoline
code, since previously it used another kprobe for hooking
the function return placeholder (which only has a nop) and
trampoline handler was called from that kprobe.

This revives the old lost kprobe again.

With this fix, we don't see deadlock anymore.

# echo "r:event_1 __fdget" >> kprobe_events
# echo "r:event_2 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave" >> kprobe_events
# echo 1 > events/kprobes/enable

And you can see that all inner-called kretprobe are skipped.

# cat kprobe_profile
  event_1                                  235               0
  event_2                                19375           19612

The 1st column is recorded count and the 2nd is missed count.
Above shows (event_1 rec) + (event_2 rec) ~= (event_2 missed)
(some difference are here because the counter is racy)
