arm: Prevent hotplug rwsem recursion

The text patching functions which are invoked from jump_label and kprobes
code are protected against cpu hotplug at the call sites.

Use stop_machine_cpuslocked() to avoid recursion on the cpu hotplug
rwsem. stop_machine_cpuslocked() contains a lockdep assertion to catch any
unprotected callers.
