x86: Fix instruction decoder to handle grouped AVX instructions

For reducing memory usage of attribute table, x86 instruction
decoder puts "Group" attribute only on "no-last-prefix"
attribute table (same as vex_p == 0 case).

Thus, the decoder should look no-last-prefix table first, and
then only if it is not a group, move on to "with-last-prefix"
table (vex_p != 0).

However, current implementation, inat_get_avx_attribute()
looks with-last-prefix directly. So, when decoding
a grouped AVX instruction, the decoder fails to find correct
group because there is no "Group" attribute on the table.
This ends up with the mis-decoding of instructions, as Ingo
reported in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1214103

This patch fixes it to check no-last-prefix table first
even if that is an AVX instruction, and get an attribute from
"with last-prefix" table only if that is not a group.
