[PATCH v3 2/4] fprobe: make fprobe_kprobe_handler recursion free

Current implementation calls kprobe related functions before doing
ftrace recursion check in fprobe_kprobe_handler, which opens door
to kernel crash due to stack recursion if preempt_count_{add, sub}
is traceable in kprobe_busy_{begin, end}.

Things goes like this without this patch quoted from Steven:
"
fprobe_kprobe_handler() {
   kprobe_busy_begin() {
      preempt_disable() {
         preempt_count_add() {  <-- trace
            fprobe_kprobe_handler() {
		[ wash, rinse, repeat, CRASH!!! ]
"

By refactoring the common part out of fprobe_kprobe_handler and
fprobe_handler and call ftrace recursion detection at the very beginning,
the whole fprobe_kprobe_handler is free from recursion.
