x86_64: Add gap to int3 to allow for call emulation
commit 2700fefdb2d9751c416ad56897e27d41e409324a upstream.
To allow an int3 handler to emulate a call instruction, it must be able to
push a return address onto the stack. Add a gap to the stack to allow the
int3 handler to push the return address and change the return from int3 to
jump straight to the emulated called function target.

Note, this is needed to allow Live Kernel Patching to not miss calling a
patched function when tracing is enabled. -- Steven Rostedt
