Subject: [PATCH v10 10/18] x86/insn-eval: Do not BUG on invalid register type

We are not in a critical failure path. The invalid register type is caused
when trying to decode invalid instruction bytes from a user-space program.
Thus, simply print an error message. To prevent this warning from being
abused from user space programs, use the rate-limited variant of pr_err().
along with a descriptive prefix.
