kprobes/x86: Call out into INT3 handler directly instead of using notifier

In fd4363fff3d96 ("x86: Introduce int3 (breakpoint)-based
instruction patching"), the mechanism that was introduced for
notifying alternatives code from int3 exception handler that and
exception occured was die_notifier.

This is however problematic, as early code might be using jump
labels even before the notifier registration has been performed,
which will then lead to an oops due to unhandled exception. One
of such occurences has been encountered by Fengguang:

Fix this by directly calling poke_int3_handler() from the int3
exception handler (analogically to what ftrace has been doing
already), instead of relying on notifier, registration of which
might not have yet been finalized by the time of the first trap.
