  x86/alternatives, kvm: Fix a couple of CALLs without a frame pointer (2024-07-01 12:41:11 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
- This is basically PeterZ's idea to nest the alternative macros to avoid the
  need to "spell out" the number of alternates in an ALTERNATIVE_n() macro and
  thus have an ever-increasing complexity in those definitions.

  For ease of bisection, the old macros are converted to the new, nested
  variants in a step-by-step manner so that in case an issue is encountered
  during testing, one can pinpoint the place where it fails easier. Because
  debugging alternatives is a serious pain.
