[PATCH v3 2/7] arm64/runtime-const: Use aarch64_insn_patch_text_nosync() for patching

[K Prateek Nayak <kprateek.nayak@amd.com>]

The current scheme to directly patch the kernel text for runtime
constants runs into the following issue with futex adapted to using
runtime constants on arm64:

  Unable to handle kernel write to read-only memory at virtual address ...

The pc points to the *p assignment in the following call chain:

  futex_init()
    runtime_const_init(shift, __futex_shift)
      __runtime_fixup_shift()
        *p = cpu_to_le32(insn);

which suggests that core_initcall() is too late to patch the kernel text
directly unlike the "d_hash_shift" which is initialized during
vfs_caches_init_early() before the protections are in place.

Use aarch64_insn_patch_text_nosync() to patch the runtime constants
instead of doing it directly to allow runtime_const_init() slightly
later into the boot.

Since aarch64_insn_patch_text_nosync() calls caches_clean_inval_pou()
internally, __runtime_fixup_caches() ends up being redundant.
runtime_const_init() are rare and the overheads of multiple calls to
caches_clean_inval_pou() instead of batching them together should be
negligible in practice.

The cpu_to_le32() conversion of instruction isn't necessary since it is
handled later in the aarch64_insn_patch_text_nosync() call-chain:

  aarch64_insn_patch_text_nosync(addr, insn)
    aarch64_insn_write(addr, insn)
      __aarch64_insn_write(addr, cpu_to_le32(insn))

Changelog v2..v3:

o Reordered this to come before the introduction of
  runtime_const_mask_32(). (David)

o Trimmed down the commit message to be more precise.
