arm64: alternatives: Remove READ_ONCE() usage during patch operation
In preparation for patching the internals of READ_ONCE() itself, replace its usage on the alternatives patching patch with a volatile variable instead. Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
