[PATCH v4 2/6] powerpc: ftrace: restore LR from pt_regs

[Naveen N. Rao]

Pass the real LR to the ftrace handler. This is needed for
KPROBES_ON_FTRACE for the pre handlers.

Also, with KPROBES_ON_FTRACE, the link register may be updated by the
pre handlers or by a registed kretprobe. Honor updated LR by restoring
it from pt_regs, rather than from the stack save area.

Live patch and function graph continue to work fine with this change.
