x86: enhance DEBUG_RODATA support - alternatives

Fix a memcpy that should be a text_poke (in apply_alternatives).

Use kernel_wp_save/kernel_wp_restore in text_poke to support DEBUG_RODATA
correctly and so the CPU HOTPLUG special case can be removed.

Add text_poke_early, for alternatives and paravirt boot-time and module load
time patching.

Changelog:

- Fix text_set and text_poke alignment check (mixed up bitwise and and or)
- Remove text_set
- Export add_nops, so it can be used by others.
- Document text_poke_early.
- Remove clflush, since it breaks some VIA architectures and is not strictly
  necessary.
- Add kerneldoc to text_poke and text_poke_early.
- Create a second vmap instead of using the WP bit to support Xen and VMI.
- Move local_irq disable within text_poke and text_poke_early to be able to
  be sleepable in these functions.
