patch_instruction() entails setting up pte, patching the instruction,
clearing the pte and flushing the tlb. If multiple instructions need
to be patched, every instruction would have to go through the above
drill unnecessarily. Instead, introduce function patch_instructions()
that sets up the pte, clears the pte and flushes the tlb only once per
page range of instructions to be patched. This adds a slight overhead
to patch_instruction() call while improving the patching time for
scenarios where more than one instruction needs to be patched.
