powerpc/code-patching: Improve verification of patchability
Today, patch_instruction() assumes that it is called exclusively on valid addresses, and only checks that it is not called on an init address after init section has been freed. Improve verification by calling kernel_text_address() instead. kernel_text_address() already includes a verification of initmem release.
