powerpc/code-patching: Speed up page mapping/unmapping
Since commit 591b4b268435 ("powerpc/code-patching: Pre-map patch area")
the patch area is premapped so intermediate page tables are already
allocated.
Use __set_pte_at() directly instead of the heavy map_kernel_page(),
at for unmapping just do a pte_clear() followed by a flush.
__set_pte_at() can be used directly without the filters in
set_pte_at() because we are mapping a normal page non executable.
Make sure gcc knows text_poke_area is page aligned in order to
optimise the flush.
This change reduces by 66% the time needed to activate ftrace on
an 8xx (588000 tb ticks instead of 1744000).
