[RFC PATCH] arch: patch_text: Fixup last cpu should be master

[RFC PATCH] arch: patch_text: Fixup last cpu should be master

[guoren]

From: Guo Ren <guoren@linux.alibaba.com>

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

I'm curious, is there a specific issue that prompted this patch?

atomic_inc_return returns the incremented value, so the last CPU gets
num_online_cpus(), not (num_online_cpus() - 1).
