powerpc: Remove __kernel_text_address() in show_instructions()
That test was introducted in 2006 by commit 00ae36de ("[POWERPC] Better check in show_instructions"). At that time, there was no BPF progs. As seen in message of commit 89d21e25 ("powerpc/bpf/32: Fix Oops on tail call tests"), when a page fault occurs in test_bpf.ko for instance, the code is dumped as XXXXXXXXs. Allthough __kernel_text_address() checks is_bpf_text_address(), it seems it is not enough. Today, show_instructions() uses get_kernel_nofault() to read the code, so there is no real need for additional verifications. ARM64 and x86 don't do any additional check before dumping instructions. Do the same and remove __kernel_text_address() in show_instructions().
