[RFC PATCH 8/8] perf probe powerpc: Fixup function entry if using kallsyms lookup

[Naveen N. Rao]

On powerpc ABIv2, if no debug-info is found and we use kallsyms,
we need to fixup the function entry to point to the local entry point.
Use offset of 8 since current toolchains always generate 2
instructions (8 bytes).
