kprobes/x86: Fix kprobes to skip prefixes correctly

Fix resume_execution() and is_IF_modifier() to skip x86
instruction prefixes correctly by using x86 instruction
attribute.

Without this fix, resume_execution() can't handle instructions
which have non-REX prefixes (REX prefixes are skipped). This
will cause unexpected kernel panic by hitting bad address when a
kprobe hits on two-byte ret (e.g. "repz ret" generated for
Athlon/K8 optimization), because it just checks "repz" and can't
recognize the "ret" instruction.

These prefixes can be found easily with x86 instruction
attribute. This patch introduces skip_prefixes() and uses it in
resume_execution() and is_IF_modifier() to skip prefixes.
