Hitting an uretprobe in a s390x TCG guest causes a SIGSEGV. What
happens is:

* uretprobe maps a userspace page containing an invalid instruction.
* uretprobe replaces the target function's return address with the
   address of that page.
* When tb_gen_code() is called on that page, tb->size ends up being 0
   (because the page starts with the invalid instruction), which causes
   virt_page2 to point to the previous page.
* The previous page is not mapped, so this causes a spurious
   translation exception.

The bug is that tb->size must never be 0: even if there is an illegal
instruction, the instruction bytes that have been looked at must count
towards tb->size. So adjust s390x's translate_one() to act this way
for both illegal instructions and instructions that are known to
generate exceptions.

Also add an assertion to tb_gen_code() in order to detect such
situations in future.
