[PATCH 4.4 26/43] x86/alternatives: Discard dynamic check after init

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Brian Gerst <brgerst@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 2476f2fa20568bd5d9e09cd35bcd73e99a6f4cc6 upstream

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.
