jump_label: Reorder hotplug lock and jump_label_lock



The conversion of the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem unearthed lock
ordering issues all over the place.

The jump_label code has two issues:

 1) Nested get_online_cpus() invocations

 2) Ordering problems vs. the cpus rwsem and the jump_label_mutex

To cure these, the following lock order has been established;

   cpus_rwsem -> jump_label_lock -> text_mutex

Even if not all architectures need protection against CPU hotplug, taking
cpus_rwsem before jump_label_lock is now mandatory in code pathes which
actually modify code and therefor need text_mutex protection.

Move the get_online_cpus() invocations into the core jump label code and
establish the proper lock order where required.
