x86/debug: Handle warnings before the notifier chain, to fix KGDB crash
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Commit:

  9a93848 ("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.
