[PATCH 0/3] Rewrite x86/ftrace to use text_poke()

[Peter Zijlstra]

Ftrace was one of the last W^X violators; these patches move it over to the
generic text_poke() interface and thereby get rid of this oddity.

The first patch has been posted before and was/is part of my (in-progress)
static_call and jump_label/jmp8 patch series; but is equally needed here.

The second patch cleans up the text_poke batching code, and the third converts
ftrace.
