The call to debugger_trap_entry() should pass the correct vector. The
break-for-gdbsx logic is in practice unreachable because PV guests can't
generate #CP, but it will interfere with anyone inserting custom debugging
into debugger_trap_entry().

It turns out that I forgot to commit this patch, and it now needs a
Release Ack to go in.
It is very safe and obvious. It is passing the wrong constant into a
debug function.
Luckily the impact is benign due to other properties of the logic, and
would only cause problems for people adding manual debug logic.
