[PATCH 5/5] powerpc/jprobes: Validate break handler invocation as being due to a jprobe_return()

Fix a circa 2005 FIXME by implementing a check to ensure that we
actually got into the jprobe break handler() due to the trap in
jprobe_return().

This is v2 of the patch posted previously (*) to change the WARN() to a 
pr_debug() as suggested by Masami.
