The execution of sys_read end up hitting a BUG_ON() in __find_get_block
after installing kprobe at sys_read, the BUG message like the following:

A simple reproducer looks like:
echo 'p:myprobe sys_read fd=%a0 buf=%a1 count=%a2' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/myprobe/enable
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

Here's what happens to hit that BUG_ON():

1) After installing kprobe at entry of sys_read, the first instruction
is replaced by 'ebreak' instruction on riscv64 platform.

2) Once kernel reach the 'ebreak' instruction at the entry of sys_read,
it trap into the riscv breakpoint handler, where it do something to
setup for coming single-step of origin instruction, including backup
the 'sstatus' in pt_regs, followed by disable interrupt during single
stepping via clear 'SIE' bit of 'sstatus' in pt_regs.

3) Then kernel restore to the instruction slot contains two instructions,
one is original instruction at entry of sys_read, the other is 'ebreak'.
Here it trigger a 'Instruction page fault' exception (value at 'scause'
is '0xc'), if PF is not filled into PageTabe for that slot yet.

4) Again kernel trap into page fault exception handler, where it choose
different policy according to the state of running kprobe. Because
afte 2) the state is KPROBE_HIT_SS, so kernel reset the current kprobe
and 'pc' points back to the probe address.

5) Because 'epc' point back to 'ebreak' instrution at sys_read probe,
kernel trap into breakpoint handler again, and repeat the operations
at 2), however 'sstatus' without 'SIE' is keep at 4), it cause the
real 'sstatus' saved at 2) is overwritten by the one withou 'SIE'.

6) When kernel cross the probe the 'sstatus' CSR restore with value
without 'SIE', and reach __find_get_block where it requires the
interrupt must be enabled.

Fix this is very trivial, just restore the value of 'sstatus' in pt_regs
with backup one at 2) when the instruction being single stepped cause a
page fault.
