powerpc/kprobes: Optimize kprobe in kretprobe_trampoline()
Kprobe placed on the kretprobe_trampoline() during boot time can be optimized, since the instruction at probe point is a 'nop'. Signed-off-by: Anju T Sudhakar <anju@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
