powerpc/kprobe: Fix oops when kprobed on 'stdu' instruction
If we set a kprobe on a 'stdu' instruction on powerpc64, we see a kernel

On a 64-bit system when the user probes on a 'stdu' instruction, the kernel does
not emulate actual store in emulate_step() because it may corrupt the exception
frame. So the kernel does the actual store operation in exception return code
i.e. resume_kernel().
resume_kernel() loads the saved stack pointer from memory using lwz, which only
loads the low 32-bits of the address, causing the kernel crash.
Fix this by loading the 64-bit value instead.
