Subject: [RFC PATCH tip/master V3 1/8] kprobes/x86: Fix not to boost call far instruction

Fix kprobe-booster not to boost call far instruction,
because call may store the address in singlestep
execution buffer to the stack, which should be modified
after single stepping.

Currently, this instruction will be filtered as not
boostable in resume_execution(), so this is not a
critical issue.
