x86/alternatives: Macrofy lock prefixes to work around GCC inlining bugs

As described in:

  77b0bf55bc67: ("kbuild/Makefile: Prepare for using macros in inline assembly code to work around asm() related GCC inlining bugs")

GCC's inlining heuristics are broken with common asm() patterns used in
kernel code, resulting in the effective disabling of inlining.

The workaround is to set an assembly macro and call it from the inline
assembly block - i.e. to macrify the affected block.

As a result GCC considers the inline assembly block as a single instruction.

This patch handles the LOCK prefix, allowing more aggresive inlining:

      text     data     bss      dec     hex  filename
  18140140 10225284 2957312 31322736 1ddf270  ./vmlinux before
  18146889 10225380 2957312 31329581 1de0d2d  ./vmlinux after (+6845)

This is the reduction in non-inlined functions:

  Before: 40286
  After:  40218 (-68)
