const is unnecessary

this function shares most of the code with aarch64_insn_copy(), how about
extracting the shared code to a separate function?

Will remove in next version.

I was thinking of writing it like the text_poke api of x86. Where you
can provide a function as an argument to work on a memory area.
Essentially, it will look like:

typedef int text_poke_f(void *dst, const void *src, size_t len);

static void *aarch64_insn_poke(text_poke_f func, void *addr, const void *src, size_t len)

We can call this function with a wrapper of `copy_to_kernel_nofault` for copy
and with a wrapper of memset32 for setting.

Do you think this is a good approach?
