Subject: [PATCH 20/41] x86/alternatives: Add text_mutex) assert to text_poke_int3_flush()

It's possible to escape the text_mutex-held assert in
text_poke_int3_batch() if the caller uses a properly
batched and sorted series of patch requests, so add
an explicit lockdep_assert_held() to make sure it's
held by all callers.

All text_poke_int3_*() APIs will call either text_poke_int3_batch()
or text_poke_int3_flush() internally.

The text_mutex must be held, because tp_vec and tp_vec_nr et al
are all globals, and the INT3 patching machinery itself relies on
external serialization.
