kprobes/x86: Consolidate insn decoder users for copying code
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.
