[PATCH v7 05/14] x86/alternative: support not-feature

[Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com>]

Add support for alternative patching for the case a feature is not
present on the current cpu.

For users of ALTERNATIVE() and friends an inverted feature is specified
by applying the ALT_NOT() macro to it, e.g.:

ALTERNATIVE(old, new, ALT_NOT(feature))

- rework again to not use flag byte (Boris Petkov)
V7:
- minor tweaks: move defines up, comment wording (Boris Petkov)
