Highlight peculiar cases in singles-step kprobe handling.

In reenter_kprobe(), a breakpoint in KPROBE_HIT_SS case can only occur
when single-stepping a breakpoint on which a probe was installed. Since
such probes are single-stepped inline, identifying these cases is
unambiguous. All other cases leading up to KPROBE_HIT_SS are possible
bugs. Identify and WARN_ON such cases.
