This change fixes the following:
1) The flags variable is not initialized. Always use raw_spin_lock_irqsave
and raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore to serialize patching.
2) flush_kernel_vmap_range is primarily intended for DMA flushes. Since
__patch_text_multiple is often called with interrupts disabled, it is
better to directly call flush_kernel_dcache_range_asm and
flush_kernel_icache_range_asm. This avoids an extra call.
3) The final call to flush_icache_range is unnecessary.

If multiple CPUs are patching code we need the spinlock
to protect against parallel fixmap maps/unmap calls.

add patch_text_multiple() which allows to patch multiple
text words in memory. This can be used to copy functions.

It's not used by patch_map()/patch_unmap(), so lets remove
it.

Instead of re-mapping the whole kernel text with RWX rights
add a patch_text() which can be used to replace instructions
in the kernel .text section. Based on the ARM implementation.
