Subject: [PATCH -tip 4/6 V4.2] x86: kprobes checks safeness of insertion address.

x86: kprobes checks safeness of insertion address.

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@...hat.com>

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

changes from v4.1:
 - update comments according to Jim's suggestion.
 - s/lookup_symbol_attrs/kallsyms_lookup/ in a comment.
