powerpc: Use kprobe blacklist for exception handlers
Currently we mark the C implementations of some exception handlers as __kprobes. This has the effect of putting them in the ".kprobes.text" section, which separates them from the rest of the text. Instead we can use the blacklist macros to add the symbols to a blacklist which kprobes will check. This allows the linker to move exception handler functions close to callers and avoids trampolines in larger kernels.
