Subject: x86/debug: Handle warnings before the notifier chain, to fix KGDB crash
From: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit b8347c2196492f4e1cccde3d92fda1cc2cc7de7e upstream.
Commit:
9a93848fe787 ("x86/debug: Implement __WARN() using UD0")
turned warnings into UD0, but the fixup code only runs after the
notify_die() chain. This is a problem, in particular, with kgdb,
which kicks in as if it was a BUG().
Fix this by running the fixup code before the notifier chain in
the invalid op handler path.
