OGAWA Hirofumi 2f74759056 x86/alternatives: Use atomic_xchg() instead atomic_dec_and_test() for stop_machine_text_poke()
stop_machine_text_poke() uses atomic_dec_and_test() to select one of
the CPUs executing that function to actually modify the code.

Since the variable is initialized to 1, subsequent CPUs will make the
variable go negative. Since going negative is uncommon/unexpected in
typical dec_and_test usage change this user to atomic_xchg().

This was found using a patch that warns on dec_and_test going
negative.
