x86, kprobes: correct post-eip value in post_hander()
I was trying to get the address of instruction to be executed next after the kprobed instruction. But regs->eip in post_handler() contains value which is useless to the user. It's pre-corrected value. This value is difficult to use without access to resume_execution(), which is not exported anyway. I moved the invocation of post_handler() to *after* resume_execution(). Now regs->eip contains meaningful value in post_handler(). I do not think this change breaks any backward-compatibility. To make meaning of the old value, post_handler() would need access to resume_execution() which is not exported. I have difficulty to believe that previous, uncorrected, regs->eip can be meaningfully used in post_handler().
