[PATCH bpf-next v5 2/3] arm64: patching: Add aarch64_insn_set()

The BPF JIT needs to write invalid instructions to RX regions of memory
to invalidate removed BPF programs. This needs a function like memset()
that can work with RX memory.

Implement aarch64_insn_set() which is similar to text_poke_set() of x86.
