x86/alternatives, jump_label: Provide better text_poke() batching interface

Adding another text_poke_bp_batch() user made me realize the interface
is all sorts of wrong. The text poke vector should be internal to the
implementation.

This then results in a trivial interface:

  text_poke_queue()  - which has the 'normal' text_poke_bp() interface
  text_poke_finish() - which takes no arguments and flushes any
                       pending text_poke()s.
