[S390] kprobes breaks BUG_ON
The illegal operation handler calls the die notifier with DIE_BPT to let kprobes pick up its breakpoint. If kprobes does not find its breakpoint it returns NOTIFY_STOP instead of NOTIFY_DONE. Since we use stop_machine_run on s390 to arm/disarm the kprobes breakpoints the race that kprobe_handler tries to solve by checking for the kprobes breakpoints does not exist. Removing the check makes BUG_ON working again. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
