Subject: [PATCH 5/5] x86/alternatives: Discard dynamic check after init

From: Brian Gerst <brgerst@...il.com>

Move the code to do the dynamic check to the altinstr_aux section so
that it is discarded after alternatives have run and a static branch has
been chosen.

Boris: change it to do TESTB, as hpa suggests.
