commit 3ea1704a92967834bf0e64ca1205db4680d04048 upstream.
text_poke_early() does:
local_irq_save(flags);
memcpy(addr, opcode, len);
local_irq_restore(flags);
sync_core();
That's not really correct because the synchronization should happen before
interrupts are re-enabled to ensure that a pending interrupt observes the
complete update of the opcodes.
It's not entirely clear whether the interrupt entry provides enough
serialization already, but moving the sync_core() invocation into interrupt
disabled region does no harm and is obviously correct.
