Subject: powerpc/jprobes: Disable preemption when triggered through ftrace
From: Naveen N. Rao <naveen.n.rao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

KPROBES_SANITY_TEST throws the below splat when CONFIG_PREEMPT is
enabled:
Kprobe smoke test: started
DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(val > preempt_count())

Kprobe smoke test: passed successfully
The issue is that we aren't disabling preemption in
kprobe_ftrace_handler(). Disable it.
