powerpc: Don't select ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR
[ Upstream commit e33416fca8a2313b8650bd5807aaf34354d39a4c ]

Commit 41b7a347bf14 ("powerpc: Book3S 64-bit outline-only KASAN
support") added a select of ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR, because it also added
some uses of noinstr. However noinstr is always defined, regardless of
ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR, so there's no need to select it just for that.

As PeterZ says [1]:
  Note that by selecting ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR you effectively state to
  abide by its rules.

As of now the powerpc code does not abide by those rules, and trips some
new warnings added by Peter in linux-next.

So until the code can be fixed to avoid those warnings, disable
ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR.

Note that ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR is also used to gate building KCOV and
parts of KCSAN. However none of the noinstr annotations in powerpc were
added for KCOV or KCSAN, instead instrumentation is blocked at the file
level using KCOV_INSTRUMENT_foo.o := n.
