x86_64: Add gap to int3 to allow for call emulation
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
