ddb/amd64: Don't go out of the way to detect invalid addresses.
db_disasm had logic to detect invalid addresses before trying to
disassemble them. But when disassembling a null instruction address,
the logic to detect invalid addresses itself tried to dereference an
invalid address.
db_get_value can already handle this situation gracefully, so there is
no need for this faulty fault-avoidance logic.
Fixes double-fault in ddb on calling null function pointers. With
any luck, this should make diagnosing such bugs easier in the future!
ddb/i386: Don't go out of the way to detect invalid addresses.
db_read_bytes already does this better (but didn't at the time this
check was originally added back in 1998). Not sure if this code had
the same mistake as the amd64 code causing it to trip over its own
shoelaces, but there should be no need for it here.
