Subject: [PATCH v3 1/7] x86: refactor kprobes_fault() like kprobe_exceptions_notify()
This is an extension of commit b506a9d08bae ("x86: code clarification patch
to Kprobes arch code"). As that commit explains, even though
kprobe_running() can't be called with preemption enabled, you don't have to
disable preemption - if preemption is on, you can't be in a kprobe.
Also, use X86_TRAP_PF instead of 14.
Signed-off-by: Jann Horn <jannh@...gle.com>

v3:
- avoid unnecessary branch on return value and split up the checks
