powerpc/security: Use a mutex for interrupt exit code patching
The mitigation-patching.sh script in the powerpc selftests toggles
all mitigations on and off simultaneously, revealing that rfi_flush
and stf_barrier cannot safely operate at the same time due to races
in updating the static key.
On some systems, the static key code throws a warning and the kernel
remains functional. On others, the kernel will hang or crash.
Fix this by slapping on a mutex.
