[POWERPC] Disallow kprobes on emulate_step and branch_taken

On powerpc, probing on emulate_step function will crash 2.6.18.1 when
it is triggered.

When kprobe is triggered, emulate_step() is on its kernel path and
will cause recursive kprobe fault.  And branch_taken() is called
in emulate_step().  This disallows kprobes on both of them.
