Add generic text_poke_smp for SMP which uses stop_machine() to synchronize modifying code. This stop_machine() method is officially described at "7.1.3 Handling Self- and Cross-Modifying Code" on the intel's software developer's manual 3A. Since stop_machine() can't protect code against NMI/MCE, this function can not modify those handlers. And also, this function is basically for modifying multibyte-single-instruction. For modifying multibyte-multi-instructions, we need another special trap & detour code. This code originaly comes from immediate values with stop_machine() version. Thanks Jason and Mathieu!
