[PATCH v1 3/4] powerpc/code-patching: Use jump_label for testing freed initmem

Wed Sep 28 00:33:06 AEST 2022
Once init is done, initmem is freed forever so no need to
test system_state at every call to patch_instruction().
Use jump_label.
This reduces by 2% the time needed to activate ftrace on an 8xx.
