[PATCH 1/5] 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
KPROBES_ON_FTRACE). For looking up function entry points, introduce a
separate helper and use the same in optprobes.c
