[S390] kprobes: Align probe address.
Running a probe on s390 with a probe address that is not 4 byte aligned results in a Kernel BUG. The problem is that the stura instruction used by swap_instruction requires the destination address to be 4 byte aligned. As stura only writes 4 bytes, aligning to the next 4 byte aligned address results in the breakpoint instruction being stored past the probe address. The fix is to align the address backward (to the previous 4 byte aligned address) and writing the two byte breakpoint instruction in the appropriate bytes.
