[PATCH v1 2/7] arm64: introduce interfaces to hotpatch kernel and module code

From: Jiang Liu <jiang.liu at huawei.com>

Introduce aarch64_insn_patch_text() and __aarch64_insn_patch_text()
to patch kernel and module code.

Function aarch64_insn_patch_text() is a heavy version which may use
stop_machine() to serialize all online CPUs, and function
__aarch64_insn_patch_text() is light version without explicitly
serialization.
