this is arch depend , you can see aarch64_insn_patch_text( ) for more info,
if aarch64_insn_hotpatch_safe() is true, will patch the text directly.

what is your git branch base? i make the patch based on linux-next branch,
maybe a little delay than yours , could you share your branch git address?
i can make a new based on yours .

Thanks
