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.
