From: Jiri Kosina <redacted>

ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare() is acquiring text_mutex, while the
corresponding release is happening in ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process().

This has already been documented in the code, but let's also make the fact
that this is intentional clear to the semantic analysis tools such as sparse.

Fixes: 39611265edc1a ("ftrace/x86: Add a comment to why we take text_mutex in ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare()")
Fixes: d5b844a2cf507 ("ftrace/x86: Remove possible deadlock between register_kprobe() and ftrace_run_update_code()")
