SIGILL after the failed arch_uprobe_post_xol() should only be used as
a last resort, we should try to restart the probed insn if possible.
Currently only adjust_ret_addr() can fail, and this can only happen if
another thread unmapped our stack after we executed "call" out-of-line.
Most probably the application if buggy, but even in this case it can
have a handler for SIGSEGV/etc. And in theory it can be even correct
and do something non-trivial with its memory.
Of course we can't restart unconditionally, so arch_uprobe_post_xol()
does this only if ->post_xol() returns -ERESTART even if currently this
is the only possible error.
Note: this is not "perfect" because handler_chain() we actually do not
want the extra handler_chain() after restart, but I think this is the
best solution we can realistically do without too much uglifications.
