[PATCH 4/4] arm64: patching: mask exceptions in patch_machine()

[Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>]

To ensure that CPUs remain quiescent during patching, they must not take
exceptions. Ensure this by masking DAIF during the code patch_machine()
logic.

James, I think w need something similar for SDEI here, but I wasn't sure
what I should use for a save..restore sequence. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Mark.
