Subject: [PATCH v2 03/13] powerpc/module_32: Fix livepatching for RO modules

Livepatching a loaded module involves applying relocations through
apply_relocate_add(), which attempts to write to read-only memory when
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=y.

R_PPC_ADDR16_LO, R_PPC_ADDR16_HI, R_PPC_ADDR16_HA and R_PPC_REL24 are
the types generated by the kpatch-build userspace tool or klp-convert
kernel tree observed applying a relocation to a post-init module.

Use patch_instruction() to patch those relocations.

Commit 8734b41b3efe ("powerpc/module_64: Fix livepatching for
RO modules") did similar change in module_64.
