Sure, I will use early_boot_irqs_disabled flag. I think, we still want
to have BUG_ON(!after_bootmem); in text_poke(). I could do
BUG_ON(early_boot_irqs_disabled), but I am worried that there are call
sites that might be using text_poke() between mem_init() and
local_irq_enable() in start_kernel().

Also, we still need to add __ref to __jump_label_transform as
text_poke_early() is __init
