Remove the s390 architecture implementation of probe_kernel_write() and
instead use a new function s390_kernel_write() to modify kernel text and
data everywhere.
The s390 implementation of probe_kernel_write() was potentially broken
since it modified memory in a read-modify-write fashion, which read four
bytes, modified the requested bytes within those four bytes and wrote
the result back.
If two cpus would modify the same four byte area at different locations
within that area, this could lead to corruption.
Right now the only places which called probe_kernel_write() did run within
stop_machine_run. Therefore the scenario can't happen right now, however
that might change at any time.
To fix this rename probe_kernel_write() to s390_kernel_write() which can
have special semantics, like only call it while running within stop_machine().

Fix the output of the jump label sanity check and also print the
code pattern that is supposed to be written to the jump label.

Use a brcl 0,2 instruction for jump label nops during compile time,
so we don't mix up the different nops during mcount/hotpatch call
site detection.
The initial jump label code instruction replacement will exchange
these instructions with either a branch or a brcl 0,0 instruction.

Add sanity checks to verify that only expected code will be replaced.
If the code patterns do not match print the code patterns and panic,
since something went terribly wrong.

This allows jump-label entries to be cheaply updated on code which is
not yet live.

Implement the architecture backend for jump label support on s390.
For a shared kernel booted from a NSS silently disable jump labels
because the NSS is read-only. Therefore jump labels will be disabled
in a shared kernel and can't be activated.
