These patch_text implementations are using stop_machine_cpuslocked
infrastructure with atomic cpu_count. The original idea: When the
master CPU patch_text, the others should wait for it. But current
implementation is using the first CPU as master, which couldn't
guarantee the remaining CPUs are waiting. This patch changes the
last CPU as the master to solve the potential risk.

For histroical reasons, we define AARCH64_INSN_SIZE in
<asm/alternative-macros.h>, but it would make more sense to do so in
<asm/insn.h>. Let's move it into <asm/insn.h>, and add the necessary
include directives for this.

Currently, <asm/insn.h> includes <asm/patching.h>. We intend that
<asm/insn.h> will be usable from userspace, so it doesn't make sense to
include headers for kernel-only features such as the patching routines,
and we'd intended to restrict <asm/insn.h> to instruction encoding
details.
Let's decouple the patching code from <asm/insn.h>, and explicitly
include <asm/patching.h> where it is needed. Since <asm/patching.h>
isn't included from assembly, we can drop the __ASSEMBLY__ guards.
At the same time, sort the kprobes includes so that it's easier to see
what is and isn't incldued.

Files insn.[c|h] containt some functions used for instruction patching.
In order to reuse the instruction encoder/decoder, move the patching
utilities to their own file.
