[PATCH -tip v7 3/6] kprobes: checks probe address is instructionboudary on x86

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Ensure safeness of inserting kprobes by checking whether the specified
address is at the first byte of a instruction on x86.
This is done by decoding probed function from its head to the probe point.

Changes from v5:
- Add comments to explain recover_probed_function() and decoding logic.
