Consolidate x86 instruction decoder users on the path of
copying original code for kprobes.
Kprobes decodes the same instruction a maximum of 3 times when
preparing the instruction buffer:
- The first time for getting the length of the instruction,
- the 2nd for adjusting displacement,
- and the 3rd for checking whether the instruction is boostable or not.
For each time, the actual decoding target address is slightly
different (1st is original address or recovered instruction buffer,
2nd and 3rd are pointing to the copied buffer), but all have
the same instruction.
Thus, this patch also changes the target address to the copied
buffer at first and reuses the decoded "insn" for displacement
adjusting and checking boostability.

Fix to the exception table entry check by using probed address
instead of the address of copied instruction.
This bug may cause unexpected kernel panic if user probe an address
where an exception can happen which should be fixup by __ex_table
(e.g. copy_from_user.)
Unless user puts a kprobe on such address, this doesn't
cause any problem.
This bug has been introduced years ago, by commit:
464846888d ("x86/kprobes: Fix a bug which can modify kernel code permanently").

Use text_poke_bp() for optimizing kprobes instead of
text_poke_smp*(). Since the number of kprobes is usually not so
large (<100) and text_poke_bp() is much lighter than
text_poke_smp() [which uses stop_machine()], this just stops
using batch processing.
