x86/alternatives: Acquire pte lock with interrupts enabled pte lock is never acquired in-IRQ context so it does not require interrupts to be disabled. The lock is a regular spinlock which cannot be acquired with interrupts disabled on RT. RT complains about pte_lock() in __text_poke() because it's invoked after disabling interrupts. __text_poke() has to disable interrupts as use_temporary_mm() expects interrupts to be off because it invokes switch_mm_irqs_off() and uses per-CPU (current active mm) data. Move the PTE lock handling outside the interrupt disabled region.
