Ravi Bangoria a1d9972e59 perf uretprobe ppc64le: Fix probe location
Perf uretprobe probes on GEP(Global Entry Point) which fails to record
all function calls via LEP(Local Entry Point). Fix that by probing on LEP.

Objdump:

  00000000100005f0 <doit>:
      100005f0:   02 10 40 3c     lis     r2,4098
      100005f4:   00 7f 42 38     addi    r2,r2,32512
      100005f8:   a6 02 08 7c     mflr    r0
      100005fc:   10 00 01 f8     std     r0,16(r1)
      10000600:   f8 ff e1 fb     std     r31,-8(r1)

Before applying patch:

  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
    r:probe_uprobe_test/doit /home/ravi/uprobe_test:0x00000000000005f0

After applying patch:

  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
    r:probe_uprobe_test/doit /home/ravi/uprobe_test:0x00000000000005f8

This is not the case with kretprobes because the kernel itself finds LEP
and probes on it.
