Use fixmaps for text patching when the kernel text is read-only,
inspired by x86. This makes jump labels and kprobes work with the
currently available CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX and the upcoming
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA options.

[kees: fixed up for merge with "arm: use generic fixmap.h"]
[kees: added parse acquire/release annotations to pass C=1 builds]
[kees: always use stop_machine to keep TLB flushing local]

Extract out the code patching code from kprobes so that it can be used
from the jump label code. Additionally, the separated code:
- Uses the IS_ENABLED() macros instead of the #ifdefs for THUMB2
support
- Unifies the two separate functions in kprobes, providing one function
that uses stop_machine() internally, and one that can be called from
stop_machine() directly
- Patches the text on all CPUs only on processors requiring software
broadcasting of cache operations
