These patch_text implementations are using stop_machine_cpuslocked infrastructure with atomic cpu_count. The original idea: When the master CPU patch_text, the others should wait for it. But current implementation is using the first CPU as master, which couldn't guarantee the remaining CPUs are waiting. This patch changes the last CPU as the master to solve the potential risk.

Thanks, this is on fixes.
Sorry, I forgot to add the Fixes and stable tags. I just fixed that up, but I'm going to hold off on this one until next week's PR to make sure it has time to go through linux-next.
