[PATCH -tip v3 6/7] bpf: error-inject: x86: Fix unbalanced preempt-count for function override

Fix unbalanced preempt-count for function override
using kprobes on x86.

Jprobe requires to keep preemption disabled and keep
current kprobes until it recovers to original function
entry. For this reason kprobe_int3_handler() makes
preempt-count unbalanced when user handler returns !0.

After removing the jprobe, Kprobes does not need to
keep preempt disabled even if user handler returns !0.

But since the function override handler is also returns
!0 if it overrides a function, to balancing the preempt
count, it enables preemption and reset current kprobe
by itself.

That is a bad design that is very buggy. This fixes
the unbalanced preempt-count in both kprobes and
function override on x86.
Of course we have to fix same code of kprobes on other
archs to keep the kprobes behavior consistent. But this
is bisect-safe because the function override
(CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION) implemented only
on x86 at this moment.
