kprobes/x86: Mark 2 bytes NOP as boostable
Currently, x86 kprobes is unable to boost 2 bytes nop like: nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) which is 0x0f 0x1f 0x44 0x00 0x00. Such nops have exactly 5 bytes to hold a relative jmp instruction. Boosting them should be obviously safe. This patch enable boosting such nops by simply updating twobyte_is_boostable[] array.
