Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".
The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:
#if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) && defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
# define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
#endif
We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.
Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.

Use 3-byte 'nop' and 'j' instructions that are always present. Don't let
assembler mark a spot right after patchable 'j' instruction as
unreachable and later put literals or padding bytes there. Add separate
implementations of patch_text for SMP and UP cases, avoiding use of
atomics on UP.
