kgdb/kgdbts: support ppc64
We can't look up the address of the entry point of the function simply
via that function symbol for all architectures.
For PPC64 ABI, actually there is a function descriptors structure.
A function descriptor is a three doubleword data structure that contains
the following values:
* The first doubleword contains the address of the entry point of
the function.
* The second doubleword contains the TOC base address for
the function.
* The third doubleword contains the environment pointer for
languages such as Pascal and PL/1.
So we should call a wapperred dereference_function_descriptor() to get
the address of the entry point of the function.
Note this is also safe for other architecture after refer to
"include/asm-generic/sections.h" since:
dereference_function_descriptor(p) always is (p) if without arched definition.
