[PATCH 2/2] riscv: Disable preemption when using patch_map()

patch_map() uses fixmap mappings to circumvent the non-writability of
the kernel text mapping.

The __set_fixmap() function only flushes the current cpu tlb, it does
not emit an IPI so we must make sure that while we use a fixmap mapping,
the current task is not migrated on another cpu which could miss the
newly introduced fixmap mapping.

So in order to avoid any task migration, disable the preemption.
