powerpc/lib: Fix off-by-one in alternate feature patching

commit b8858581febb050688e276b956796bc4a78299ed upstream.

When we patch an alternate feature section, we have to adjust any
relative branches that branch out of the alternate section.

But currently we have a bug if we have a branch that points to past
the last instruction of the alternate section, eg:

  FTR_SECTION_ELSE
  1:     b       2f
         or      6,6,6
  2:
  ALT_FTR_SECTION_END(...)
         nop

This will result in a relative branch at 1 with a target that equals
the end of the alternate section.

That branch does not need adjusting when it's moved to the non-else
location. Currently we do adjust it, resulting in a branch that goes
off into the link-time location of the else section, which is junk.

The fix is to not patch branches that have a target == end of the
alternate section.

Fixes: 9b1a735de64c ("powerpc: Add logic to patch alternative feature sections")
