Since patch_text_stop_machine() is called in stop_machine() which disables IRQ, sleepable lock should be not used in this atomic context, so replace patch_lock to raw lock.
I am taking this one. Thank you. We have jump_labels() deactivated on ARM because stop_machine() may cause latencies at runtime. kprobe and kgdb is used by the user on purpose (and not because he changed some sched setting) I think we are fine. I am going to document this.
