[PATCH -fixes] riscv: patch: Flush the icache right after patching to avoid illegal insns

We cannot delay the icache flush after patching some functions as we may
have patched a function that will get called before the icache flush.
The only way to completely avoid such scenario is by flushing the icache
as soon as we patch a function. This will probably be costly as we don't
batch the icache maintenance anymore.
Fixes: 6ca445d8af0e ("riscv: Fix early ftrace nop patching")
