Revert "powerpc64/elfv1: Only dereference function descriptor for non-text symbols"

This reverts commit 83e840c ("powerpc64/elfv1: Only dereference
function descriptor for non-text symbols").

Chandan reported that on newer kernels, trying to enable function_graph
tracer on ppc64 (BE) locks up the system with the following trace:

This is because ftrace is using ppc_function_entry() for obtaining the
address of return_to_handler() in prepare_ftrace_return(). The call to
kernel_text_address() itself gets traced and we end up in a recursive
loop.
