x86/alternatives: Use optimized NOPs for padding

commit 4fd4b6e5537cec5b56db0b22546dd439ebb26830 upstream.

Alternatives allow now for an empty old instruction. In this case we go
and pad the space with NOPs at assembly time. However, there are the
optimal, longer NOPs which should be used. Do that at patching time by
adding alt_instr.padlen-sized NOPs at the old instruction address.
