On X86_64, we need to support rip relative instructions.
Rip relative instructions are handled by saving the scratch register
on probe hit and then retrieving the previously saved scratch register
after single-step. This value stored at probe hit is specific to each
task. Hence this is implemented as part of uprobe_task_arch_info.
Since x86_32 has no support for rip relative instructions, we dont need to
bother for x86_32.
