arm64: probes: Cleanup kprobes endianness conversions

Browse Source 
The core kprobes code uses kprobe_opcode_t for the in-memory
representation of an instruction, using 'kprobe_opcode_t *' for XOL
slots. As arm64 instructions are always little-endian 32-bit values,
kprobes_opcode_t should be __le32, but at the moment kprobe_opcode_t
is typedef'd to u32.

Today there is no functional issue as we convert values via
cpu_to_le32() and le32_to_cpu() where necessary, but these conversions
are inconsistent with the types used, causing sparse warnings:

|   CHECK   arch/arm64/kernel/probes/kprobes.c
| arch/arm64/kernel/probes/kprobes.c:102:21: warning: cast to restricted __le32
|   CHECK   arch/arm64/kernel/probes/decode-insn.c
| arch/arm64/kernel/probes/decode-insn.c:122:46: warning: cast to restricted __le32
| arch/arm64/kernel/probes/decode-insn.c:124:50: warning: cast to restricted __le32
| arch/arm64/kernel/probes/decode-insn.c:136:31: warning: cast to restricted __le32

Improve this by making kprobes_opcode_t a typedef for __le32 and
consistently using this for pointers to executable instructions. With
this change we can rely on the type system to tell us where conversions
are necessary.

Since kprobe::opcode is changed from u32 to __le32, the existing
le32_to_cpu() converion moves from the point this is initialized (in
arch_prepare_kprobe()) to the points this is consumed when passed to
a handler or text patching function. As kprobe::opcode isn't altered or
consumed elsewhere, this shouldn't result in a functional change.
