FYI, I managed to find a commit that seems to be causing the issue:

  8e791f7eba4c ("x86/kprobes: Drop removed INT3 handling code")

It is not clear why, but if I revert it, I can no longer reproduce the
issue. I reported the issue to the patch's author and the x86's ML:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/06cb540e-34ff-4dcd-b936-19d4d14378c9@kernel.org

Thank you again for your help.

Cheers,
Matt
