Deferring a code patching IPI is unsafe if the patched code is in a
noinstr region.  In that case the text poke code must trigger an
immediate IPI to all CPUs, which can rudely interrupt an isolated NO_HZ
CPU running in userspace.

If a noinstr static call only needs to be patched during boot, its key
can be made ro-after-init to ensure it will never be patched at runtime.
