[V2,1/3] riscv/kprobe: Optimize the performance of patching single-step slot

Commit Message

Liao, Chang Sept. 13, 2022, 3:34 a.m. UTC

Single-step slot would not be used until kprobe is enabled, that means
no race condition occurs on it under SMP, hence it is safe to pacth ss
slot without stopping machine.
