In subsequent patches we'll need to atomically write to a naturally-aligned 64-bit literal embedded within the kernel text. Add a helper for this. For consistency with other text patching code we use copy_to_kernel_nofault(), which is atomic for naturally-aligned accesses up to 64-bits.

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.
