Agreed, this looks a bit ugly. I did this only because I can not test
this (hopefully trivial) patch and the maintainers didn't reply.

If LoongArch boots at least once with this change, this run-time check
can be removed.

And just in case... I didn't dare to make a more "generic" change, but
perhaps KPROBE_BP_INSN and KPROBE_SSTEPBP_INSN should be redefined the
same way for micro-optimization. In this case __emit_break() should be
probably moved into arch/loongarch/include/asm/inst.h.
