x86/alternatives: Fix optimize_nops() checking

commit 612e8e9350fd19cae6900cf36ea0c6892d1a0dca upstream.

The alternatives code checks only the first byte whether it is a NOP, but
with NOPs in front of the payload and having actual instructions after it
breaks the "optimized' test.

Make sure to scan all bytes before deciding to optimize the NOPs in there.
