Single-step slot would not be used until kprobe is enabled, that means
no race condition occurs on it under SMP, hence it is safe to pacth ss
slot without stopping machine.

v4:
1. Add Acked-by from Will Deacon
2. Mark Rutland provides some subtleties on arm64 micro-architecture
   that needs to follow.

v3:
1. Drop duplicated I-Cache maintenance for arm64.
2. Add Acked-by from Masami Hiramatsu.

v2:
Backport riscv patch to cksy and arm64.
