In subsequent patches we'll need to atomically write to a
naturally-aligned 64-bit literal embedded within the kernel text.
Add a helper for this. For consistency with other text patching code we
use copy_to_kernel_nofault(), which is atomic for naturally-aligned
accesses up to 64-bits.

Currently, <asm/insn.h> includes <asm/patching.h>. We intend that
<asm/insn.h> will be usable from userspace, so it doesn't make sense to
include headers for kernel-only features such as the patching routines,
and we'd intended to restrict <asm/insn.h> to instruction encoding
details.
Let's decouple the patching code from <asm/insn.h>, and explicitly
include <asm/patching.h> where it is needed. Since <asm/patching.h>
isn't included from assembly, we can drop the __ASSEMBLY__ guards.
At the same time, sort the kprobes includes so that it's easier to see
what is and isn't incldued.

Files insn.[c|h] containt some functions used for instruction patching.
In order to reuse the instruction encoder/decoder, move the patching
utilities to their own file.
