x86/asm: Add asm macros for static keys/jump labels
Unfortunately, we can only do this if HAVE_JUMP_LABEL. In principle, we could do some serious surgery on the core jump label infrastructure to keep the patch infrastructure available on x86 on all builds, but that's probably not worth it. Implementing the macros using a conditional branch as a fallback seems like a bad idea: we'd have to clobber flags. This limitation can't cause silent failures -- trying to include asm/jump_label.h at all on a non-HAVE_JUMP_LABEL kernel will error out. The macro's users are responsible for handling this issue themselves.
