powerpc/kprobes: Disable preemption before invoking probe handler for optprobes

Per Documentation/kprobes.txt, probe handlers need to be invoked with
preemption disabled. Update optimized_callback() to do so. Also move
get_kprobe_ctlblk() invocation post preemption disable, since it
accesses pre-cpu data.

This was not an issue so far since optprobes wasn't selected if
CONFIG_PREEMPT was enabled. Commit a30b85df7d599f ("kprobes: Use
synchronize_rcu_tasks() for optprobe with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y") changes
this.
