[PATCH 2/3] powerpc: introduce a new helper to obtain function entry points

kprobe_lookup_name() is specific to the kprobe subsystem and may not
always return the function entry point (in a subsequent patch). For
looking up function entry points, introduce a separate helper and use
the same in optprobes.c
