[PATCH v2 1/2] arm64: kprobes: disable preemption across XOL single-step

[Khaja Hussain Shaik Khaji <khaja.khaji@oss.qualcomm.com>]

On arm64, non-emulatable kprobes instructions execute out-of-line (XOL)
after returning from the initial debug exception. The XOL instruction
runs in normal kernel context, while kprobe state is maintained per-CPU.

If the task is preempted or migrates during the XOL window, the subsequent
SS-BRK exception may be handled on a different CPU, corrupting per-CPU
kprobe state and preventing correct recovery.

Disable preemption across the XOL instruction and re-enable it in the
SS-BRK handler to prevent migration until control returns to the kprobe
handler.
