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] BE SMP NR_CPUS=2048 DEBUG_PAGEALLOC NUMA pSeries Modules linked in: CPU: 1 PID: 6586 Comm: bash Not tainted 4.14.0-rc3-00162-g6e51f1f-dirty #20 task: c000000625c07200 task.stack: c000000625c07310 NIP: c0000000001f1300 LR: c000000000121cac CTR: c000000000061af8 REGS: c000000625c088c0 TRAP: 0380 Not tainted (4.14.0-rc3-00162-g6e51f1f-dirty) MSR: 8000000000001032 <SF,ME,IR,DR,RI> CR: 28002848 XER: 00000000 CFAR: c0000000001f1320 SOFTE: 0 ...

The call to kernel_text_address() itself gets traced and we end up in a recursive loop.
