[PATCH] CONFIG_PREEMPT fix of do_debug()

If CONFIG_PREEMPT is enabled, and the kernel is preempted just before
do_debug() has a chance to save the debug register values, DR6 could be
read from the wrong CPU.

It is exactly the same problem as reading %cr2 in the page fault
handler.  Same fix: make the handler a interrupt gate, and enable
interrupts only once safe.
