Subject: [PATCH v5 05/12] x86/alternative: support ALTERNATIVE_TERNARY

Add ALTERNATIVE_TERNARY support for replacing an initial instruction
with either of two instructions depending on a feature:

  ALTERNATIVE_TERNARY "default_instr", FEATURE_NR,
                      "feature_on_instr", "feature_off_instr"

which will start with "default_instr" and at patch time will, depending
on FEATURE_NR being set or not, patch that with either
"feature_on_instr" or "feature_off_instr".

Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross <jgross@...e.com>

V3:
- new patch
V4:
- use X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS instead of negated feature (Boris Petkov)
- unfortunately this isn't enough to get rid of the "not feature"
  support, as this is needed in the patch "x86/paravirt: switch
  functions with custom code to ALTERNATIVE", too
V5:
- carve out the "not feature" part
