powerpc/kprobes: Update optprobes to use emulate_update_regs() Optprobes depended on an updated regs->nip from analyse_instr() to identify the location to branch back from the optprobes trampoline. However, since commit 3cdfcbfd32b9d ("powerpc: Change analyse_instr so it doesn't modify *regs"), analyse_instr() doesn't update the registers anymore. Due to this, we end up branching back from the optprobes trampoline to the same branch into the trampoline resulting in a loop. Fix this by calling out to emulate_update_regs() before using the nip. Additionally, explicitly compare the return value from analyse_instr() to 1, rather than just checking for !0 so as to guard against any future changes to analyse_instr() that may result in -1 being returned in more scenarios.
