ARM kprobes: don't let a single-stepped stmdb corrupt the exception stack
If kprobes installs a breakpoint on a "stmdb sp!, {...}" instruction, and then single-step it by simulation from the exception context, it will corrupt the saved regs on the stack from the previous context. To avoid this, let's add an optional parameter to the svc_entry macro allowing for a hole to be created on the stack before saving the interrupted context, and use it in the undef_svc handler when kprobes is enabled.
