powerpc/kprobes: Fix handling of instruction emulation on probe re-entry
Commit 22d8b3dec214c ("powerpc/kprobes: Emulate instructions on kprobe handler re-entry") enabled emulating instructions on kprobe re-entry, rather than single-stepping always. However, we didn't update the single stepping code to only be run if the emulation fails. Also, we missed re-enabling preemption if the instruction emulation was successful. Fix those issues.
