Subject: [PATCH -v1.1 8/10] x86/alternatives: Discard dynamic check after init

Move the code to do the dynamic check to the altinstr_aux section so
that it is discarded after alternatives have run and a static branch has
been chosen.

This way we're changing the dynamic branch from C code to assembly,
which makes it *substantially* smaller while avoiding a completely
unnecessary call to an out of line function.

Boris: change it to do TESTB, as hpa suggests.
