[IA64] Remove getting break_num by decoding instruction
break.b always sets cr.iim to 0 and the current code tries to
get the break_num by decoding instruction. However, their
seems to be a race condition while reading the regs->cr_iip,
as on other cpu the break.b at regs->cr_iip might have been
replaced with the original instruction as a result of
unregister_kprobe() and hence decoding instruction to
obtain break_num will result in wrong value in this case.

Also includes changes to kprobes.c which now has to handle
break number zero.
