kprobes, x86/alternatives: Use text_mutex to protect smp_alt_modules
We use alternatives_text_reserved() to check if the address is in the fixed pieces of alternative reserved, but the problem is that we don't hold the smp_alt mutex when call this function. So the list traversal may encounter a deleted list_head if another path is doing alternatives_smp_module_del(). One solution is that we can hold smp_alt mutex before call this function, but the difficult point is that the callers of this functions, arch_prepare_kprobe() and arch_prepare_optimized_kprobe(), are called inside the text_mutex. So we must hold smp_alt mutex before we go into these arch dependent code. But we can't now, the smp_alt mutex is the arch dependent part, only x86 has it. Maybe we can export another arch dependent callback to solve this. But there is a simpler way to handle this problem. We can reuse the text_mutex to protect smp_alt_modules instead of using another mutex. And all the arch dependent checks of kprobes are inside the text_mutex, so it's safe now.
