Subject: [patch V4 part 4 02/24] x86/int3: Avoid atomic instrumentation

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

Use arch_atomic_*() and READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() to ensure nothing untoward
creeps in and ruins things.

That is; this is the INT3 text poke handler, strictly limit the code
that runs in it, lest it inadvertenly hits yet another INT3.
