[RFC PATCH v2 1/5] powerpc/kprobes: Use ftrace to determine if a probe is at function entry

[Naveen N Rao]

Rather than hard-coding the offset into a function to be used to
determine if a kprobe is at function entry, use ftrace_location() to
determine the ftrace location within the function and categorize all
instructions till that offset to be function entry.

For functions that cannot be traced, we fall back to using a fixed
offset of 8 (two instructions) to categorize a probe as being at
function entry for 64-bit elfv2, unless we are using pcrel.
