[PATCHv2 8/8] perf probe powerpc: Fixup function entry if using kallsyms lookup

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).

Changes:
Generalize and introduce helper to post-process trace point.
