arm64: insn: Don't fallback on nosync path for general insn patching Patching kernel instructions at runtime requires other CPUs to undergo a context synchronisation event via an explicit ISB or an IPI in order to ensure that the new instructions are visible. This is required even for "hotpatch" instructions such as NOP and BL, so avoid optimising in this case and always go via stop_machine() when performing general patching. ftrace isn't quite as strict, so it can continue to call the nosync code directly.
