[Bug kprobes/2667] New: Kernel panic occur when kprobing callq instruction on x86_64


Kernel panic occurs if we put a probe on callq instruction.
This problem always occurs when probes callq instruction.
This problem is only on x86_64.

If resume_execution() found 0xff at first byte of 
p->ainsn.insn, it must check the _second_ byte.
But current resume_execution() check _first_ byte again
in mainline.

This causes the kernel panic of Bad RIP value.
