Mark Rutland 792d47379f arm64: alternative: add auto-nop infrastructure
In some cases, one side of an alternative sequence is simply a number of
NOPs used to balance the other side. Keeping track of this manually is
tedious, and the presence of large chains of NOPs makes the code more
painful to read than necessary.

To ameliorate matters, this patch adds a new alternative_else_nop_endif,
which automatically balances an alternative sequence with a trivial NOP
sled.

In many cases, we would like a NOP-sled in the default case, and
instructions patched in in the presence of a feature. To enable the NOPs
to be generated automatically for this case, this patch also adds a new
alternative_if, and updates alternative_else and alternative_endif to
work with either alternative_if or alternative_endif.
