[PATCH 4/9] arm64: alternatives: hoist print out of __apply_alternatives()

[Mark Rutland]

Printing in the middle of __apply_alternatives() is potentially unsafe
and not all that helpful given these days we practically always patch
*something*.

Hoist the print out of __apply_alternatives(), and add separate prints
to __apply_alternatives() and apply_alternatives_all(), which will make
it easier to spot if either patching call goes wrong.
