powerpc: Remove __kernel_text_address() in show_instructions()



That test was introducted in 2006 by
commit 00ae36de ("[POWERPC] Better check in show_instructions").
At that time, there was no BPF progs.

As seen in message of commit 89d21e25 ("powerpc/bpf/32: Fix Oops
on tail call tests"), when a page fault occurs in test_bpf.ko for
instance, the code is dumped as XXXXXXXXs. Allthough
__kernel_text_address() checks is_bpf_text_address(), it seems it is
not enough.

Today, show_instructions() uses get_kernel_nofault() to read the code,
so there is no real need for additional verifications.

ARM64 and x86 don't do any additional check before dumping
instructions. Do the same and remove __kernel_text_address()
in show_instructions().
