c84fced8d9 arm64: move encode_insn_immediate() from module.c to insn.c
Function encode_insn_immediate() will be used by other instruction
manipulate related functions, so move it into insn.c and rename it
as aarch64_insn_encode_immediate().

ae16480785 arm64: introduce interfaces to hotpatch kernel and module code
Introduce three interfaces to patch kernel and module code:
aarch64_insn_patch_text_nosync():
	patch code without synchronization, it's caller's responsibility
	to synchronize all CPUs if needed.
aarch64_insn_patch_text_sync():
	patch code and always synchronize with stop_machine()
aarch64_insn_patch_text():
	patch code and synchronize with stop_machine() if needed
