Subject: [PATCH v4 09/16] x86/alternative: Remove text_poke_loc::len

Per the BUG_ON(len != insn.length) in text_poke_loc_init(), tp->len
must indeed be the same as text_opcode_size(tp->opcode). Use this to
remove this field from the structure.

Sadly, due to 8 byte alignment, this only increases the structure
padding.
