powerpc/security: Use a mutex for interrupt exit code patching
commit 3c12b4df upstream. The mitigation-patching.sh script in the powerpc selftests toggles all mitigations on and off simultaneously, revealing that rfi_flush and stf_barrier cannot safely operate at the same time due to races in updating the static key. On some systems, the static key code throws a warning and the kernel remains functional. On others, the kernel will hang or crash. Fix this by slapping on a mutex.
