powerpc: Don't use 'struct ppc_inst' to reference instruction location
'struct ppc_inst' is an internal representation of an instruction, but in-memory instructions are and will remain a table of 'u32' forever. Replace all 'struct ppc_inst *' used for locating an instruction in memory by 'u32 *'. This removes a lot of undue casts to 'struct ppc_inst *'. It also helps locating ab-use of 'struct ppc_inst' dereference.
