[PATCH] RISC-V: insn: Use a raw spinlock to protect TEXT_POKE*

From: Palmer Dabbelt <palmerdabbelt at google.com>
We currently use text_mutex to protect the fixmap sections from
concurrent callers. This is convienent for kprobes as the generic code
already holds text_mutex, but ftrace doesn't which triggers a lockdep
assertion. We could take text_mutex for ftrace, but the jump label
implementation (which is currently taking text_mutex) isn't explicitly
listed as being sleepable and it's called from enough places it seems
safer to just avoid sleeping.
arm64 and parisc, the other two TEXT_POKE-style patching
implemnetations, already use raw spinlocks. abffa6f3b157 ("arm64:
convert patch_lock to raw lock") lays out the case for a raw spinlock as
opposed to a regular spinlock, and while I don't know of anyone using rt
on RISC-V I'm sure it'll eventually show up and I don't see any reason
to wait.
