powerpc: Fix unpaired probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit
commit e4f387d8db3ba3c2dae4d8bdfe7bb5f4fe1bcb0d upstream.
Unpaired calling of probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit might happen
as following, which could cause incorrect preempt count.
__trace_hcall_entry => trace_hcall_entry -> probe_hcall_entry =>
get_cpu_var => preempt_disable
__trace_hcall_exit => trace_hcall_exit -> probe_hcall_exit =>
put_cpu_var => preempt_enable
where:
A => B and A -> B means A calls B, but
=> means A will call B through function name, and B will definitely be
called.
-> means A will call B through function pointer, so B might not be
called if the function pointer is not set.
So error happens when only one of probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit
get called during a hcall.
This patch tries to move the preempt count operations from
probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit to its callers.
