[PATCH] i386: Disallow kprobes on NMI handlers

A kprobe executes IRET early and that could cause NMI recursion and stack
corruption.

Note: This problem was originally spotted and solved by Andi Kleen in the
x86_64 architecture. This patch is an adaption of his patch for i386.

AK: Merged with current code which was a bit different.
AK: Removed printk in nmi handler that shouldn't be there in the first time
AK: Added missing include.
AK: added KPROBES_END
