x86/alternatives: Teach text_poke_bp() to emulate instructions
In preparation for static_call and variable size jump_label support,
teach text_poke_bp() to emulate instructions, namely:
JMP32, JMP8, CALL, NOP2, NOP_ATOMIC5, INT3
The current text_poke_bp() takes a @handler argument which is used as
a jump target when the temporary INT3 is hit by a different CPU.
When patching CALL instructions, this doesn't work because we'd miss
the PUSH of the return address. Instead, teach poke_int3_handler() to
emulate an instruction, typically the instruction we're patching in.
This fits almost all text_poke_bp() users, except
arch_unoptimize_kprobe() which restores random text, and for that site
we have to build an explicit emulate instruction.
