powerpc/kprobes: Remove resume_execution() in kprobes
emulate_step() in kprobe_handler() would've already determined if the
probed instruction can be emulated. We single-step in hardware only if
the instruction couldn't be emulated. resume_execution() therefore is
superfluous -- all we need is to fix up the instruction pointer after
single-stepping.
Thanks to Paul Mackerras for catching this.
