When running kprobe on -rt kernel, the below bug is caught:

Since patch_text_stop_machine() is called in stop_machine() which disables IRQ,
sleepable lock should be not used in this atomic context, so replace patch_lock
to raw lock.

I am taking this one. Thank you.
We have jump_labels() deactivated on ARM because stop_machine() may
cause latencies at runtime. kprobe and kgdb is used by the user on
purpose (and not because he changed some sched setting) I think we are
fine. I am going to document this.

This can also go upstream.
