[PATCH 5/6] Add tests for the code patching code, and introduce checking functions

Some code I am working on wants to check that the code it's patching is
what it expects, so add three functions which check the passed instruction
to see what it is.
Add some tests for those routines, and also test the results of the existing
create_branch() function using the new routines.
It would be nice to have the test code enabled automatically for debug
kernels, but distros turn on DEBUG_KERNEL so we don't really have a config
symbol we can tie it off.
