[PATCH v3] ARM: initialize jump labels before setup_machine_fdt()

Stephen reported that a static key warning splat appears during early
boot on arm64 systems that credit randomness from device trees that
contain an "rng-seed" property, because setup_machine_fdt() is called
before jump_label_init() during setup_arch(), which was fixed by
73e2d827a501 ("arm64: Initialize jump labels before
setup_machine_fdt()").

The same basic issue applies to arm32 as well. So this commit adds a
call to jump_label_init() just before setup_machine_fdt(). Since the
page maps haven't been set yet, this also requires us to use the early
patching code in the jump label code.
