[PATCH v2] powerpc/uprobes: Validation for prefixed instruction

Don't allow Uprobe on 2nd word of a prefixed instruction. As per
ISA 3.1, prefixed instruction should not cross 64-byte boundary.
So don't allow Uprobe on such prefixed instruction as well.

There are two ways probed instruction is changed in mapped pages.
First, when Uprobe is activated, it searches for all the relevant
pages and replace instruction in them. In this case, if we notice
that probe is on the 2nd word of prefixed instruction, error out
directly. Second, when Uprobe is already active and user maps a
relevant page via mmap(), instruction is replaced via mmap() code
path. But because Uprobe is invalid, entire mmap() operation can
not be stopped. In this case just print an error and continue.

v1: http://lore.kernel.org/r/20210119091234.76317-1-ravi.bangoria@linux.ibm.com
v1->v2:
  - Instead of introducing new arch hook from verify_opcode(), use
    existing hook arch_uprobe_analyze_insn().
  - Add explicit check for prefixed instruction crossing 64-byte
    boundary. If probe is on such instruction, throw an error.
