Restore the processor state before calling any other function to ensure
per-cpu variables can be used with KASLR memory randomization.

Tracing functions use per-cpu variables (gs based) and one was called
just before restoring the processor state fully. It resulted in a double
fault when both the tracing & the exception handler functions tried to
use a per-cpu variable.
