powerpc/kprobes: Fix validation of prefixed instructions across page …
…boundary When checking if the probed instruction is the suffix of a prefixed instruction, we access the instruction at the previous word. If the probed instruction is the very first word of a module, we can end up trying to access an invalid page. Fix this by skipping the check for all instructions at the beginning of a page. Prefixed instructions cannot cross a 64-byte boundary and as such, we don't expect to encounter a suffix as the very first word in a page for kernel text. Even if there are prefixed instructions crossing a page boundary (from a module, for instance), the instruction will be illegal, so preventing probing on the suffix of such prefix instructions isn't worthwhile.
