uprobes/x86: Add support to emulate NOP instructions 

Add support to emulate all NOP instructions as the original uprobe
instruction.

This change speeds up uprobe on top of all NOP instructions and is a
preparation for usdt probe optimization, that will be done on top of
NOP5 instructions.

With this change the usdt probe on top of NOP5s won't take the performance
hit compared to usdt probe on top of standard NOP instructions.
