[PATCH 7/7] powerpc/traps: Show instructions on exceptions

Move show_instructions() declaration to arch/powerpc/include/asm/stacktrace.h
and include asm/stracktrace.h in arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c, which contains
the implementation.

Modify show_instructions() not to call __kernel_text_address(), allowing
userspace instruction dump.  probe_kernel_address(), which returns -EFAULT if
something goes wrong, is still being called.

Call show_instructions() in arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c to dump instructions at
faulty location, useful to debugging.

Before this patch, an unhandled signal message looked like:

    Jul 24 09:57:00 localhost kernel: pandafault[10524]: segfault (11) at 00000000100007d0 nip 000000001000061c lr 00007fffbd295100 code 2 in pandafault[10000000+10000]

After this patch, it looks like:

    Jul 24 09:57:00 localhost kernel: pandafault[10524]: segfault (11) at 00000000100007d0 nip 000000001000061c lr 00007fffbd295100 code 2 in pandafault[10000000+10000]
