[RFC PATCH] powerpc/uprobes: Fixup si_addr if we took an exception while single stepping

If the single-stepped instruction causes an exception, we may end up
setting siginfo.si_addr to the address of the uprobe xol area. This is
not desirable since the address won't make sense for the process if it
wants to handle the exception. Fixup the si_addr field in such cases.
