When running kprobe on -rt kernel, the below bug is caught:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/rtmutex.c:931

Since patch_text_stop_machine() is called in stop_machine() which disables IRQ,
sleepable lock should be not used in this atomic context, so replace patch_lock
to raw lock.
