ftrace/alternatives: Introducing *_text_reserved functions

Introducing *_text_reserved functions for checking the text
address range is partially reserved or not. This patch provides
checking routines for x86 smp alternatives and dynamic ftrace.
Since both functions modify fixed pieces of kernel text, they
should reserve and protect those from other dynamic text
modifier, like kprobes.

This will also be extended when introducing other subsystems
which modify fixed pieces of kernel text. Dynamic text modifiers
should avoid those.
