[PATCH 1/3] powerpc: Properly return error code from do_patch_instruction()

With STRICT_KERNEL_RWX, we are currently ignoring return value from
__patch_instruction() in do_patch_instruction(), resulting in the error
not being propagated back. Fix the same.

Fixes: 37bc3e5fd764f ("powerpc/lib/code-patching: Use alternate map for patch_instruction()")
