Subject: [PATCH] x86, vm86: fix preemption bug for int3 breakpoint handlers.

Impact: fix kernel bug such as:
May 22 16:47:47 localhost kernel: note: dosemu.bin[5281] exited with preempt_count 1

Commit be716615fe596ee117292dc615e95f707fb67fd1 ("x86, vm86:
fix preemption bug") fixes the problem for debug exceptions but not
for breakpoints. This change also fixes breakpoints. As the offending
codepath is jumping directly back to entry.S, move the logic to
vm86_32.c, and re-enable preemption in vm86_handle_trap() before
calling return_to_32bit().
