Subject[PATCH 3/3] uprobes/powerpc: ignore trap variants during register
From: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com>

The current implementation of uprobes assumes that uprobes always wins
even when a register request is at a location with a conditional
breakpoint by some other entity. Refer to [1] for more details.

Remove the breakpoint instruction check during registration on powerpc,
so that uprobes behavior on powerpc matches that of x86.
