x86: Add text_poke_smp for SMP cross modifying code
Add generic text_poke_smp for SMP which uses stop_machine()
to synchronize modifying code.
This stop_machine() method is officially described at "7.1.3
Handling Self- and Cross-Modifying Code" on the intel's
software developer's manual 3A.
Since stop_machine() can't protect code against NMI/MCE, this
function can not modify those handlers. And also, this function
is basically for modifying multibyte-single-instruction. For
modifying multibyte-multi-instructions, we need another special
trap & detour code.
This code originaly comes from immediate values with
stop_machine() version. Thanks Jason and Mathieu!
