[PATCH v1 1/6] powerpc/code-patching: Use pte_offset_kernel() instead of virt_to_kpte()

[Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu>]

virt_to_kpte() checks pmd_none() and returns NULL in that case.

__do_patch_instruction() doesn't expect the pmd to be none and
doesn't handle the case anyway.

So avoid the pmd_none() check by using pte_offset_kernel()
directly.

It improves ftrace activation by approx 1% on an 8xx.
