jump label: Make dynamic no-op selection available outside of ftrace

Browse Source 
Move Steve's code for finding the best 5-byte no-op from ftrace.c to
alternative.c. The idea is that other consumers (in this case jump label)
want to make use of that code.

* There is no good nop for all x86 archs.

* will test to make sure that the nop will actually
* work on this CPU. If it faults, we will then
* go to a lesser efficient 5 byte nop. If that fails
* we then just use a jmp as our nop. This isn't the most
* efficient nop, but we can not use a multi part nop
* since we would then risk being preempted in the middle
* of that nop, and if we enabled tracing then, it might
* cause a system crash.

* TODO: check the cpuid to determine the best nop.
