[PATCH] kprobes: fix single-step out of line - take2

Now that PPC64 has no-execute support, here is a second try to fix the
single step out of line during kprobe execution.  Kprobes on x86_64 already
solved this problem by allocating an executable page and using it as the
scratch area for stepping out of line.  Reuse that.
