in fact, i don’t have any special reason to must change like this, just found we can do this when i read
AARCH64 TRM, then i make this patch :)

i think jump_label code don’t have responsibility to make sure the sync with other cores,
if it is not safe to execute old and new patch code on different cores, the caller should
do this sync, he can cancel a work_struct / cu_sync() or some thing like this,
i have a look at the software implementation (!HAVE_JUMP_LABEL) ,
it also doesn’t do any sync, just atomic_inc() and return directly .
if the ARCH technology concern is not a matter, i think we can apply it :)
in fact , i have another solution for jump_label, i see we calculate the jump instruction every time ,
why not let the compiler do this during compile time , during run time , we just need swap it with NOP
instruction, and by this method, we don’t need store target address in struct jump_entry ,
it can save some space ,
this is my patch for this method :

i just store a offset relative *key address and store a NOP in jump_entry,
when need change a static_key, we just need swap the jump insert and NOP instr .
the jump_entry is shrieked to u64[2] , save some space .
Thanks
