Subject: [PATCH] x86/traps: move kmsan check after instrumentation_begin

During x86_64 kernel build with CONFIG_KMSAN, the objtool warns following:

  AR      built-in.a
  AR      vmlinux.a
  LD      vmlinux.o

vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: handle_bug+0x4: call to
kmsan_unpoison_entry_regs() leaves .noinstr.text section
OBJCOPY modules.builtin.modinfo
GEN modules.builtin
MODPOST Module.symvers
CC .vmlinux.export.o

Moving kmsan_unpoison_entry_regs() _after_ instrumentation_begin() fixes the warning.

There is decode_bug(regs->ip, &imm) is left before KMSAN unpoisoining, but it has the return condition and if we include it after instrumentation_begin() it results the warning "return with instrumentation enabled", hence, I'm concerned that regs will not be KMSAN unpoisoned if ud_type == BUG_NONE is true.

Fixes ba54d194f8da ("x86/traps: avoid KMSAN bugs originating from handle_bug()")
