[RFC PATCH v4 29/34] ftrace: x86: call kprobe_int3_handler() in ftrace int3 handler.

Since early kprobes and ftrace both use int3 (ftrace insert int3 to the
first byte of ftrace entry, fill other bytes of the inserted 'call'
instruction and finally restore the first byte, while kprobe rely on
int3 to trigger its actions), it is possible that a breakpoint is shared
between ftrace and an early kprobe on it. Let ftrace_int3_handler() deal
with this confliction by calling kprobe_int3_handler() before it jump
to next instruction to avoid lost event during ftrace inserting 'call'
instruction.
