powerpc/align: Don't use __get_user_instr() on kernel addresses
In the old days, when we didn't have kernel userspace access protection and had set_fs(), it was wise to use __get_user() and friends to read kernel memory. Nowadays, get_user() is granting userspace access and is exclusively for userspace access. In alignment exception handler, use probe_kernel_read_inst() instead of __get_user_instr() for reading instructions in kernel. This will allow to remove the is_kernel_addr() check in __get/put_user() in a following patch.
