[patch 10/10] x86/traps: Stop using ist_enter/exit() in do_int3()

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Tue Feb 25 2020 - 18:30:34 EST


#BP is not longer using IST and using ist_enter() and ist_exit() makes it
harder to change ist_enter() and ist_exit()'s behavior. Instead open-code
the very small amount of required logic.
