[PATCH v6 03/10] powerpc/kprobes: Move kprobes over to patch_instruction()

From: Balbir Singh <bsingharora at gmail.com>
arch_arm/disarm_probe() use direct assignment for copying
instructions, replace them with patch_instruction(). We don't need to
call flush_icache_range() because patch_instruction() does it for us.
