Subject: [PATCH] x86-32: Fix boot with CONFIG_X86_INVD_BUG

entry_32.S contained a hardcoded alternative instruction entry, and
the format changed in:

commit 59e97e4d6fbcd5b74a94cb48bcbfc6f8478a5e93

    x86: Make alternative instruction pointers relative

Replace it with the altinstruction_entry macro.  This fixes the
32-bit boot with CONFIG_X86_INVD_BUG=y.
