x86/alternatives: Add text_mutex) assert to smp_text_poke_batch_flush()
It's possible to escape the text_mutex-held assert in smp_text_poke_batch_process() if the caller uses a properly batched and sorted series of patch requests, so add an explicit lockdep_assert_held() to make sure it's held by all callers. All text_poke_int3_*() APIs will call either smp_text_poke_batch_process() or smp_text_poke_batch_flush() internally. The text_mutex must be held, because tp_vec and tp_vec_nr et al are all globals, and the INT3 patching machinery itself relies on external serialization.
