uprobes/x86: Prohibit probing on MOV SS instruction

Since MOV SS and POP SS instructions will delay the exceptions until the
next instruction is executed, single-stepping on it by uprobes must be
prohibited.

uprobe already rejects probing on POP SS (0x1f), but allows probing on MOV
SS (0x8e and reg == 2).  This checks the target instruction and if it is
MOV SS or POP SS, returns -ENOTSUPP to reject probing.
