x86: use optimal NOPs to fill the SMEP/SMAP placeholders

Alternatives patching code picks the most suitable NOPs for the
running system, so simply use it to replace the pre-populated ones.

Use an arbitrary, always available feature to key off from, but
hide this behind the new X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS.

x86/compat: correct SMEP/SMAP NOPs patching

Correct the number of single byte NOPs we want to be replaced in case
neither SMEP nor SMAP are available.

Also simplify the expression adding these NOPs - at that location .
equals .Lcr4_orig, and removing that part of the expression fixes a
bogus ".space or fill with negative value, ignored" warning by very old
gas (which actually is what made me look at those constructs again).
