This results not only in introducing overhead but also involving inat_get_opcode_attribute into the kprobes hot path, and it can cause an infinite recursive call (and kernel panic in the end). Actually, since the copied instruction itself can never be modified on the buffer, it is needless to analyze the instruction on every probe hit. To fix this issue, we check it only once when registering probe and store the result on ainsn->if_modifier.
