If uprobe handler changes instruction pointer we still execute single step) or emulate the original instruction and increment the (new) ip with its length. This makes the new instruction pointer bogus and application will likely crash on illegal instruction execution. If user decided to take execution elsewhere, it makes little sense to execute the original instruction, so let's skip it.
