[PATCH 1/4] arm64: insn: Do not disable irqs during patching

[Matthias Brugger <mbrugger@suse.com>]

From: Robert Richter <rrichter@cavium.com>

__aarch64_insn_write() is always called with interrupts enabled. Thus,
there is no need to use an irqsave variant for the spin lock.

This change should also address the fix of:

commit abffa6f3b157 ("arm64: convert patch_lock to raw lock")

We need to enable interrupts to allow cpu sync for code patching
using smp_call_function*().
