powerpc/kprobes: Fix null pointer reference in arch_prepare_kprobe()

[ Upstream commit 97f88a3 ]

I found a null pointer reference in arch_prepare_kprobe():

  # echo 'p cmdline_proc_show' > kprobe_events
  # echo 'p cmdline_proc_show+16' >> kprobe_events

The address being probed has some special:

  cmdline_proc_show: Probe based on ftrace
  cmdline_proc_show+16: Probe for the next instruction at the ftrace location

The ftrace-based kprobe does not generate kprobe::ainsn::insn, it gets
set to NULL. In arch_prepare_kprobe() it will check for:

  ...
  prev = get_kprobe(p->addr - 1);
  preempt_enable_no_resched();
  if (prev && ppc_inst_prefixed(ppc_inst_read(prev->ainsn.insn))) {
  ...

If prev is based on ftrace, 'ppc_inst_read(prev->ainsn.insn)' will occur
with a null pointer reference. At this point prev->addr will not be a
prefixed instruction, so the check can be skipped.

Check if prev is ftrace-based kprobe before reading 'prev->ainsn.insn'
to fix this problem.
