[PATCH] ARM: kprobes-decode: add support for MOVW instruction

> The MOVW instruction moves a 16-bit immediate into the bottom halfword
> of the destination register.
> 
> This patch ensures that kprobes leaves the 16-bit immediate intact, rather
> than assume a 12-bit immediate and mask out the upper 4 bits.

I forgot to mention; without this patch the kprobes smoke tests
(CONFIG_KPROBES_SANITY_TEST) fail on ARM. If nobody objects, I'll
submit this to the patch system this week.

Thanks,
