riscv: Use text_mutex instead of patch_lock

Browse source

We don't need the additional lock protection when patching the text.

There are two patching interfaces here:
 - patch_text: patch code and always synchronize with stop_machine()
 - patch_text_nosync: patch code without synchronization, it's caller's
                      responsibility to synchronize all CPUs if needed.

For the first one, stop_machine() is protected by its own mutex, and
also the irq is already disabled here.

For the second one, in risc-v real case now, it would be used to ftrace
patching the mcount function, since it already running under
kstop_machine(), no other thread will run, so we could use text_mutex
on ftrace side.
