Subject: Kprobes IA64 check jprobe break before handling

Once the jprobe instrumented function returns, it executes
a jprobe_break which is a break instruction with
__IA64_JPROBE_BREAK value. The current patch checks for
this break value, before assuming that jprobe 
instrumented function just completed.

The previous code was not checking for this value and
that was a bug.
