[PATCH] powerpc/kprobes: Fix handling of instruction emulation on probe re-entry

Commit 22d8b3dec214c ("powerpc/kprobes: Emulate instructions on kprobe
handler re-entry") enabled emulating instructions on kprobe re-entry,
rather than single-stepping always. However, we didn't update the single
stepping code to only be run if the emulation fails. Also, we missed
re-enabling preemption if the instruction emulation was successful. Fix
those issues.

handler re-entry")

Michael,
Sorry for letting this slip through. Between when I first wrote the
above commit to when I posted it, there was an issue with a rebase that
resulted in slightly different code getting through (in other words, I
messed up the rebase resolution). I have now tested this version and
verified that this works properly.

Thanks,
Naveen
