tracing, x86: fix fixup section to return to original code
Impact: fix to prevent a kernel crash on fault
If for some reason the pointer to the parent function on the
stack takes a fault, the fix up code will not return back to
the original faulting code. This can lead to unpredictable
results and perhaps even a kernel panic.
A fault should not happen, but if it does, we should simply
disable the tracer, warn, and continue running the kernel.
It should not lead to a kernel crash.
