[PATCH] RISC-V: Don't use IPIs in flush_icache_all() when patching text

If some of the HARTs are parked by stop machine then IPI-based
flushing in flush_icache_all() will hang. This hang is observed
when text patching is invoked by various debug and BPF features.

To avoid this hang, we force use of SBI-based icache flushing
when patching text.

Fixes: 627922843235 ("RISC-V: Use IPIs for remote icache flush when possible")
