Both INTs (INT n, INT1, INT3, INTO) and UDs (UD0, UD1, UD2) serve
special purposes in the kernel, e.g., INT3 is used by KGDB and UD2 is
involved in LLVM-KCFI instrumentation. At the same time, attaching
kprobes on these instructions (particularly UDs) will pollute the stack
trace dumped in the kernel ring buffer, since the exception is triggered
in the copy buffer rather than the original location.

Check for INTs and UDs in can_probe and reject any kprobes trying to
attach to these instructions.

Oh yes, the return type should be bool. Thanks for pointing out!
