Masami Hiramatsu (Google) 2aebf5ee43 x86/alternatives: Fix int3 handling failure from broken text_poke array
Since smp_text_poke_single() does not expect there is another
text_poke request is queued, it can make text_poke_array not
sorted or cause a buffer overflow on the text_poke_array.vec[].
This will cause an Oops in int3 because of bsearch failing;

   CPU 0                        CPU 1                      CPU 2
   -----                        -----                      -----

 smp_text_poke_batch_add()

			    smp_text_poke_single() <<-- Adds out of order

							<int3>
                                                	[Fails o find address
                                                        in text_poke_array ]
                                                        OOPS!

Or unhandled page fault because of a buffer overflow;

   CPU 0                        CPU 1
   -----                        -----

 smp_text_poke_batch_add() <<+
 ...                         |
 smp_text_poke_batch_add() <<-- Adds TEXT_POKE_ARRAY_MAX times.

			     smp_text_poke_single() {
			     	__smp_text_poke_batch_add() <<-- Adds entry at
								TEXT_POKE_ARRAY_MAX + 1

                		smp_text_poke_batch_finish()
                        	  [Unhandled page fault because
				   text_poke_array.nr_entries is
				   overwritten]
				   BUG!
			     }

Use smp_text_poke_batch_add() instead of __smp_text_poke_batch_add()
so that it correctly flush the queue if needed.
