Subject: x86: kprobes: Prohibit probing on instruction which has emulate prefix

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 004e8dce9c5595697951f7cd0e9f66b35c92265e upstream.

Prohibit probing on instruction which has XEN_EMULATE_PREFIX
or KVM's emulate prefix. Since that prefix is a marker for Xen
and KVM, if we modify the marker by kprobe's int3, that doesn't
work as expected.
