[PATCH v7 3/5] powerpc: Rework and improve STRICT_KERNEL_RWX patching

From: "Christopher M. Riedl" <cmr at bluescreens.de>

Rework code-patching with STRICT_KERNEL_RWX to prepare for a later patch
which uses a temporary mm for patching under the Book3s64 Radix MMU.
Make improvements by adding a WARN_ON when the patchsite doesn't match
after patching and return the error from __patch_instruction() properly.
