When running kprobe on -rt kernel, the below bug is caught:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/rtmutex.c:931 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 128, pid: 14, name: migration/0 INFO: lockdep is turned off. irq event stamp: 238 hardirqs last enabled at (237): [<80b5aecc>] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x88/0x90 hardirqs last disabled at (238): [<80b56d88>] __schedule+0xec/0x94c softirqs last enabled at (0): [<80225584>] copy_process.part.5+0x30c/0x1994 softirqs last disabled at (0): [< (null)>] (null) Preemption disabled at:[<802f2b98>] cpu_stopper_thread+0xc0/0x140

Since patch_text_stop_machine() is called in stop_machine() which disables IRQ, sleepable lock should be not used in this atomic context, so replace patch_lock to raw lock.
