[PATCH] x86_64: Enlarge debug stack for nested kprobes

In x86_64 platform, INT1 and INT3 trap stack is IST stack called DEBUG_STACK,
when INT1/INT3 trap happens, system will switch to DEBUG_STACK by hardware.
Current DEBUG_STACK size is 4K, when int1/int3 trap happens, kernel will
minus current DEBUG_STACK IST value by 4k. But if int3/int1 trap is nested,
it will destroy other vector's IST stack. This patch modifies this, it sets
DEBUG_STACK size as 8K and allows two level of nested int1/int3 trap.

Kprobe DEBUG_STACK may be nested, because kprobe handler may be probed
by other kprobes.

Thanks jbeulich for pointing out error in the first patch.

[AK: nested kprobes are pretty dubious. Hopefully one nest
will be enough. This will cost 8K per CPU (4K more than before)]
