x86/alternative: Add indirect call patching
In order to prepare replacing of paravirt patching with alternative patching, add the capability to replace an indirect call with a direct one. This is done via a new flag ALT_FLAG_CALL as the target of the CALL instruction needs to be evaluated using the value of the location addressed by the indirect call. For convenience, add a macro for a default CALL instruction. In case it is being used without the new flag being set, it will result in a BUG() when being executed. As in most cases, the feature used will be X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS so add another macro ALT_CALL_ALWAYS usable for the flags parameter of the ALTERNATIVE macros. For a complete replacement, handle the special cases of calling a nop function and an indirect call of NULL the same way as paravirt does.
