Subject: [PATCH UPDATED 2/4] x86: reorganize cpa_process_alias()

Reorganize cpa_process_alias() so that new alias condition can be
added easily.

Jan Beulich spotted problem in the original cleanup thread which
incorrectly assumed the two existing conditions were mutially
exclusive.

[ Impact: code reorganization ]
