Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 12/15] context_tracking,x86: Defer kernel text patching IPIs

text_poke_bp_batch() sends IPIs to all online CPUs to synchronize
them vs the newly patched instruction. CPUs that are executing in userspace
do not need this synchronization to happen immediately, and this is
actually harmful interference for NOHZ_FULL CPUs.

As the synchronization IPIs are sent using a blocking call, returning from
text_poke_bp_batch() implies all CPUs will observe the patched
instruction(s), and this should be preserved even if the IPI is deferred.
In other words, to safely defer this synchronization, any kernel
instruction leading to the execution of the deferred instruction
sync (ct_work_flush()) must *not* be mutable (patchable) at runtime.

This means we must pay attention to mutable instructions in the early entry
code:
- alternatives
- static keys
- all sorts of probes (kprobes/ftrace/bpf/???)

The early entry code leading to ct_work_flush() is noinstr, which gets rid
of the probes.

Alternatives are safe, because it's boot-time patching (before SMP is
even brought up) which is before any IPI deferral can happen.

This leaves us with static keys. Any static key used in early entry code
should be only forever-enabled at boot time, IOW __ro_after_init (pretty
much like alternatives). Exceptions are marked as forceful and will always
generate an IPI when flipped. Objtool is now able to point at static keys
that don't respect this, and all static keys used in early entry code have
now been verified as behaving like so.

Leverage the new context_tracking infrastructure to defer sync_core() IPIs
to a target CPU's next kernel entry.
