[RFC PATCH v4 14/34] early kprobes: use stop_machine() based x86 optimizer.

Use stop_machine() to wrap code modification for x86 when optimizing
early kprobes. Since early kprobes are registered before smp inited,
text_poke_bp() is not ready at that time. This patch use stop_machine()
based code modification for early kprobes.

At very early stage, stop_machine() is simply irq operations. After
kprobes fully initianized, we will use text_poke_bp(). Only kprobes
registered after cpu_stop_init() before init_kprobes() will use real
stop_machine().
