kprobes-thumb.c fixes are missed in this series. Patch is below.

I've tested the series with all my comments addressed,
Dave's patch instead of 9/9 and with the patch below.
Kprobes-test passed for all combinations ARM/Thumb LE/BE.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: kprobes-thumb: fix instruction fetch order with <asm/opcodes.h>

If we are running BE8, the data and instruction endianness
do not match, so use <asm/opcodes.h> to correctly
translate memory accesses into ARM instructions.
