powerpc/ftrace: Use patch_instruction() return directly

Instead of returning -EPERM when patch_instruction() fails,
just return what patch_instruction returns.

That simplifies ftrace_modify_code():

It improves ftrace activation/deactivation duration by about 3%.

Modify patch_instruction() return on failure to -EPERM in order to
match with ftrace expectations. Other users of patch_instruction()
do not care about the exact error value returned.
