[PATCH v1 5/6] powerpc/feature-fixups: Do not patch init section after init

Once init section is freed, attempting to patch init code
ends up in the weed.

Commit 51c3c62b58b3 ("powerpc: Avoid code patching freed init sections")
protected patch_instruction() against that, but it is the responsibility
of the caller to ensure that the patched memory is valid.

In the same spirit as jump_label with its jump_label_can_update()
function, add is_fixup_addr_valid() function to skip patching on
freed init section.
