Given that we have BPF_MOD_NOP_TO_{CALL,JUMP}, BPF_MOD_{CALL,JUMP}_TO_NOP
and BPF_MOD_{CALL,JUMP}_TO_{CALL,JUMP} poke types and that we also pass in
old_addr as well as new_addr, it's a bit redundant and unnecessarily
complicates __bpf_arch_text_poke() itself since we can derive the same from
the *_addr that were passed in. Hence simplify and use BPF_MOD_{CALL,JUMP}
as types which also allows to clean up call-sites.
In addition to that, __bpf_arch_text_poke() currently verifies that text
matches expected old_insn before we invoke text_poke_bp(). Also add a check
on new_insn and skip rewrite if it already matches. Reason why this is rather
useful is that it avoids making any special casing in prog_array_map_poke_run()
when old and new prog were NULL and has the benefit that also for this case
we perform a check on text whether it really matches our expectations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
