powerpc/code-patching: Consolidate and cache per-cpu patching context
With the temp mm context support, there are CPU local variables to hold the patch address and pte. Use these in the non-temp mm path as well instead of adding a level of indirection through the text_poke_area vm_struct and pointer chasing the pte. As both paths use these fields now, there is no need to let unreferenced variables be dropped by the compiler, so it is cleaner to merge them into a single context struct. This has the additional benefit of removing a redundant CPU local pointer, as only one of cpu_patching_mm / text_poke_area is ever used, while remaining well-typed. It also groups each CPU's data into a single cacheline.
