[PATCH 03/18] kprobes: Checks probe address is instruction boudary on x86

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com>

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