Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tools/x86: Fix some potential undefined behavior

From: Numfor Mbiziwo-Tiapo <nums@...gle.com>

If insn_init is given a NULL kaddr and 0 buflen then validate_next will
perform arithmetic on NULL, add a guard to avoid this.

Don't perform unaligned loads in __get_next and __peek_nbyte_next as
these are forms of undefined behavior.

These problems were identified using the undefined behavior sanitizer
(ubsan) with  perf test. Part of this patch was previously posted here:
