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.
