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.
