powerpc/kprobes: Remove kretprobe_trampoline_holder.
Fixes the following testsuite failure:
$ sudo ./perf test -v kallsyms
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms :

vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: FAILED!
The problem is that the kretprobe_trampoline symbol looks like this:
$ eu-readelf -s /boot/vmlinux G kretprobe_trampoline
2431: c000000001302368 24 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 37 kretprobe_trampoline_holder
2432: c00000000003d300 8 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 1 .kretprobe_trampoline_holder
97543: c00000000003d300 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 kretprobe_trampoline
Its type is NOTYPE, and its size is 0, and this is a problem because
symbol-elf.c:dso__load_sym skips function symbols that are not STT_FUNC
or STT_GNU_IFUNC (this is determined by elf_sym__is_function). Even
if the type is changed to STT_FUNC, when dso__load_sym calls
symbols__fixup_duplicate, the kretprobe_trampoline symbol is dropped in
favour of .kretprobe_trampoline_holder because the latter has non-zero
size (as determined by choose_best_symbol).
With this patch, all vmlinux symbols match /proc/kallsyms and the
testcase passes.
Commit c1c355ce14c0 ("x86/kprobes: Get rid of
kretprobe_trampoline_holder()") gets rid of kretprobe_trampoline_holder
altogether on x86. This commit does the same on powerpc. This change
introduces no regressions on the perf and ftracetest testsuite results.
