Fix: bytecode validator: reject specialized load instructions

Reject specialized load instructions so a bytecode crafted with
nefarious intent cannot:

- Read user-space memory without proper get_user accessors,
- Read a memory area larger than the memory targeted by the instrumentation.

This prevents bytecode received from a tracing group user from oopsing
the kernel or disclosing the content of kernel memory to the tracing
group.
