This is a revision of Chris and Jordan's series to introduce a per-cpu temporary
mm to be used for patching with strict rwx on radix mmus.

v10:	* Don't set poking_init_enabled on boot CPU init failure
	* Remove extern from functions in files touched by this series
	* Changed book3s/32/tlbflush.h stub body from warning to build bug
	* Remove empty hash__ set of functions. Also removed the ones that are
	  just warnings (would have preferred to make them build bugs, but they
	  blocked the build even though it's all inline inside a radix_enabled()
	  if-block).
	  	- It's not possible to use the radix specific necessary TLB flush
		  in code patching, as code-patching.c is compiled even when radix__*
		  functions aren't visible. #ifdefs would be required.
		  The cxl usage required radix__* be visible anyway, so there is no
		  compile issue.
	* Mention cache benefits of struct of patching context variables
	* Don't open-code mm init and teardown. It seems tlb_gather_mmu does
	  the necessary steps to detect page table pages to free, so it should
	  not leak. get_locked_pte() is used over __get_locked_pte() because I
	  don't know what makes the double-underscore function dangerous.
