Subject: [PATCH] x86/traps: move kmsan check after instrumentation_begin

During x86_64 kernel build with CONFIG_KMSAN, the objtool warns
following:

  AR      built-in.a
  AR      vmlinux.a
  LD      vmlinux.o
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: handle_bug+0x4: call to
    kmsan_unpoison_entry_regs() leaves .noinstr.text section
  OBJCOPY modules.builtin.modinfo
  GEN     modules.builtin
  MODPOST Module.symvers
  CC      .vmlinux.export.o

Moving kmsan_unpoison_entry_regs() _after_ instrumentation_begin() fixes
the warning.

There is decode_bug(regs->ip, &imm) is left before KMSAN unpoisoining,
but it has the return condition and if we include it after
instrumentation_begin() it results the warning
"return with instrumentation enabled", hence, I'm concerned that regs
will not be KMSAN unpoisoned if `ud_type == BUG_NONE` is true.

Fixes: ba54d194f8da ("x86/traps: avoid KMSAN bugs originating from handle_bug()")
