RISC-V: take text_mutex during alternative patching
Guenter reported a splat during boot, that Samuel pointed out was the
lockdep assertion failing in patch_insn_write():

This issue was exposed by 702e64550b ("riscv: fpu: switch has_fpu() to
riscv_has_extension_likely()"), as it is the patching in has_fpu() that
triggers the splats in Guenter's report.

Take the text_mutex before doing any code patching to satisfy lockdep.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
