Replacing kmalloc/kfree/dma_map_single/dma_unmap_single()
with dma_alloc_coherent/dma_free_coherent() helps to reduce
code size, and simplify the code, and coherent DMA will not
clear the cache every time.

Generic parts of the kernel for instance core_kernel_text()
use 'system_state' to check whether init memory has been
freed.
Do the same and stop using init_mem_is_free.

arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed() is likely going to go away via the mm t
Today, patch_instruction() assumes that is called exclusively on valid
addresses, and only checks that it is not called on an init address
after init section has been freed.
Improve verification by calling kernel_text_address() instead.
kernel_text_address() already includes a verification of
