Except for a couple of minor nits below, the patch looks good to me

ool_stub_sz sounds like a better name here instead of ool_instrs..
As the comment above already mentioned the no. of instructions in
each case, this could simply be:

     ool_stub_sz = IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC_FTRACE_OUT_OF_LINE) ? 16 : 12;
