Subject: [PATCH 2/2] kprobes/x86: Check for invalid ftrace location in __recover_probed_insn()

__recover_probed_insn() should always be called from an address where
an instructions starts. The check for ftrace_location() might help to
discover a potential inconsistency. Something goes terribly wrong when
an address inside the ftrace location is checked. Let's BUG() in this case.
