ARM: 7440/1: kprobes: only test 'sub pc, pc, #1b-2b+8-2' on ARMv6
'sub pc, pc, #1b-2b+8-2' results in address<1:0> == '10'. sub pc, pc, #const (== ADR pc, #const) performs an interworking branch (BXWritePC()) on ARMv7+ and a simple branch (BranchWritePC()) on earlier versions. In ARM state, BXWritePC() is UNPREDICTABLE when address<1:0> == '10'. In ARM state on ARMv6+, BranchWritePC() ignores address<1:0>. Before ARMv6, BranchWritePC() is UNPREDICTABLE if address<1:0> != '00' So the instruction is UNPREDICTABLE both before and after v6.
