Nathan reported that the new per-cpu mm patching oopses if DEBUG_VM is

It's caused by the assert_spin_locked() failing in assert_pte_locked().
The assert fails because the PTE was unlocked in text_area_cpu_up_mm(),
and never relocked.
The PTE page shouldn't be freed, the patching_mm is only used for
patching on this CPU, only that single PTE is ever mapped, and it's only
unmapped at CPU offline.
In fact assert_pte_locked() has a special case to ignore init_mm
entirely, and the patching_mm is more-or-less like init_mm, so possibly
the check could be skipped for patching_mm too.
But for now be conservative, and use the proper PTE accessors at
patching time, so that the PTE lock is held while the PTE is used. That
also avoids the warning in assert_pte_locked().
With that it's no longer necessary to save the PTE in
cpu_patching_context for the mm_patch_enabled() case.
