[PATCH 2/4] ftrace,ppc: fix test of 24bit jump

[Steven Rostedt]

Impact: fix of test if an address is 26 bits away or not

Paul Mackerras pointed out that the test of the 24bit offset jump was
incorrect. For one thing, it is a 26 bit distance since we multiply
by 4 to account for the alignment. Another is that it may produce an
incorrect result on a negative jump of exactly the offset size.
