powerpc/optprobes: Fix TOC handling in optprobes trampoline

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1585741
Optprobes on powerpc are limited to kernel text area. We decided to also
optimize kretprobe_trampoline since that is also in kernel text area.
However,we failed to take into consideration the fact that the same
trampoline is also used to catch function returns from kernel modules.
As an example:

  $ sudo modprobe kobject-example
  $ sudo bash -c "echo 'r foo_show+8' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events"
  $ sudo bash -c "echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/enable"
  $ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list
  c000000000041350  k  kretprobe_trampoline+0x0    [OPTIMIZED]
  d000000000e00200  r  foo_show+0x8  kobject_example
  $ cat /sys/kernel/kobject_example/foo
  Segmentation fault

With the below (trimmed) splat in dmesg:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0xfec40000
  Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000041540

Fix this by loading up the kernel TOC before calling into the kernel.
The original TOC gets restored as part of the usual pt_regs restore.
