x86/kprobes: Fix instruction recovery on optimized path

Current probed-instruction recovery expects that only breakpoint
instruction modifies instruction. However, since kprobes jump
optimization can replace original instructions with a jump,
that expectation is not enough. And it may cause instruction
decoding failure on the function where an optimized probe
already exists.

This bug can reproduce easily as below:

1) find a target function address (any kprobe-able function is OK)

 $ grep __secure_computing /proc/kallsyms
   ffffffff810c19d0 T __secure_computing

2) decode the function
   $ objdump -d vmlinux --start-address=0xffffffff810c19d0 --stop-address=0xffffffff810c19eb

  vmlinux:     file format elf64-x86-64

Disassembly of section .text:

ffffffff810c19d0 <__secure_computing>:
ffffffff810c19d0:       55                      push   %rbp
ffffffff810c19d1:       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
ffffffff810c19d4:       e8 67 8f 72 00          callq
ffffffff817ea940 <mcount>
ffffffff810c19d9:       65 48 8b 04 25 40 b8    mov    %gs:0xb840,%rax
ffffffff810c19e0:       00 00
ffffffff810c19e2:       83 b8 88 05 00 00 01    cmpl $0x1,0x588(%rax)
ffffffff810c19e9:       74 05                   je     ffffffff810c19f0 <__secure_computing+0x20>

3) put a kprobe-event at an optimize-able place, where no
 call/jump places within the 5 bytes.
 $ su -
 # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
 # echo p __secure_computing+0x9 > kprobe_events

4) enable it and check it is optimized.
 # echo 1 > events/kprobes/p___secure_computing_9/enable
 # cat ../kprobes/list
 ffffffff810c19d9  k  __secure_computing+0x9    [OPTIMIZED]

5) put another kprobe on an instruction after previous probe in
  the same function.
 # echo p __secure_computing+0x12 >> kprobe_events
 bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
 # dmesg | tail -n 1
 [ 1666.500016] Probing address(0xffffffff810c19e2) is not an instruction boundary.

6) however, if the kprobes optimization is disabled, it works.
 # echo 0 > /proc/sys/debug/kprobes-optimization
 # cat ../kprobes/list
 ffffffff810c19d9  k  __secure_computing+0x9
 # echo p __secure_computing+0x12 >> kprobe_events
 (no error)

This is because kprobes doesn't recover the instruction
which is overwritten with a relative jump by another kprobe
when finding instruction boundary.
It only recovers the breakpoint instruction.

This patch fixes kprobes to recover such instructions.

With this fix:

 # echo p __secure_computing+0x9 > kprobe_events
 # echo 1 > events/kprobes/p___secure_computing_9/enable
 # cat ../kprobes/list
 ffffffff810c1aa9  k  __secure_computing+0x9    [OPTIMIZED]
 # echo p __secure_computing+0x12 >> kprobe_events
 # cat ../kprobes/list
 ffffffff810c1aa9  k  __secure_computing+0x9    [OPTIMIZED]
 ffffffff810c1ab2  k  __secure_computing+0x12    [DISABLED]

Changes in v4:
 - Fix a bug to ensure optimized probe is really optimized
   by jump.
 - Remove kprobe_optready() dependency.
 - Cleanup code for preparing optprobe separation.

Changes in v3:
 - Fix a build error when CONFIG_OPTPROBE=n. (Thanks, Ingo!)
   To fix the error, split optprobe instruction recovering
   path from kprobes path.
 - Cleanup comments/styles.

Changes in v2:
 - Fix a bug to recover original instruction address in
   RIP-relative instruction fixup.
 - Moved on tip/master.
