Revert "powerpc64/elfv1: Only dereference function descriptor for non-text symbols"
This reverts commit 83e840c770f2c5 ("powerpc64/elfv1: Only dereference
function descriptor for non-text symbols").
Chandan reported that on newer kernels, trying to enable function_graph
tracer on ppc64 (BE) locks up the system with the following trace:
Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x600000002fa30010
Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000001f1300
Thread overran stack, or stack corrupted
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]

This is because ftrace is using ppc_function_entry() for obtaining the
address of return_to_handler() in prepare_ftrace_return(). The call to
kernel_text_address() itself gets traced and we end up in a recursive
loop.
