kprobes/x86: Prohibit probing on exception masking instructions
Since MOV SS and POP SS instructions will delay the exceptions until the next instruction is executed, single-stepping on it by kprobes must be prohibited. However, kprobes usually executes those instructions directly on trampoline buffer (a.k.a. kprobe-booster), except for the kprobes which has post_handler. Thus if kprobe user probes MOV SS with post_handler, it will do single-stepping on the MOV SS. This means it is safe that if it is used via ftrace or perf/bpf since those don't use the post_handler. Anyway, since the stack switching is a rare case, it is safer just rejecting kprobes on such instructions.
