powerpc/code-patching: Use dedicated memory routines for patching

The patching page set up as a writable alias may be in quadrant 0
(userspace) if the temporary mm path is used. This causes sanitiser
failures if so. Sanitiser failures also occur on the non-mm path
because the plain memset family is instrumented, and KASAN treats the
patching window as poisoned.

Introduce locally defined patch_* variants of memset that perform an
uninstrumented lower level set, as well as detecting write errors like
the original single patch variant does.

copy_to_user() is not correct here, as the PTE makes it a proper kernel
page (the EAA is privileged access only, RW). It just happens to be in
quadrant 0 because that's the hardware's mechanism for using the current
PID vs PID 0 in translations. Importantly, it's incorrect to allow user
page accesses.

Now that the patching memsets are used, we also propagate a failure up
to the caller as the single patch variant does.
