Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] init_on_alloc: Unpessimize default-on builds

Right now, the state of CONFIG_INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON (and
...ON_FREE...) did not change the assembly ordering of the static branch
tests. Use the new jump_label macro to check CONFIG settings to default
to the "expected" state, unpessimizes the resulting assembly code.
