kprobes/x86: Fix page-fault handling logic

Current kprobes in-kernel page fault handler doesn't
expect that its single-stepping can be interrupted by
an NMI handler which may cause a page fault(e.g. perf
with callback tracing).

In that case, the page-fault handled by kprobes and it
misunderstands the page-fault has been caused by the
single-stepping code and tries to recover IP address
to probed address.

But the truth is the page-fault has been caused by the
NMI handler, and do_page_fault failes to handle real
page fault because the IP address is modified and
causes Kernel BUGs like below.

 ----
 [ 2264.726905] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000020
 [ 2264.727190] IP: [<ffffffff813c46e0>] copy_user_generic_string+0x0/0x40

To handle this correctly, I fixed the kprobes fault
handler to ensure the faulted ip address is its own
single-step buffer instead of checking current kprobe
state.
