Subject: [PATCH] x86/kprobes: Fix optprobe to detect padding int3 correctly

Fix optprobe to detect padding int3 correctly.

Since commit 7705dc855797 ("x86/vmlinux: Use INT3 instead of NOP
for linker fill bytes") changed the padding bytes between functions
from nop to int3, when optprobe decodes a target function it finds
int3 and gives up the jump optimization.

Instead of giving up any int3 detection, this checks whether the
rest of bytes to the end of the function are int3 or not. If all
of those are int3, those come from the linker. In that case,
optprobe continues jump optimization.

Fixes: 7705dc855797 ("x86/vmlinux: Use INT3 instead of NOP for linker fill bytes")
