Make use of the new alternative_if and alternative_else_nop_endif and
get rid of our homebew NOP sleds, making the code simpler to read.
Note that for cpu_do_switch_mm the ret has been moved out of the
alternative sequence, and in the default case there will be three
additional NOPs executed.

On ThunderX T88 pass 1 and pass 2, there is no hardware prefetching so
we need to patch in explicit software prefetching instructions
Prefetching improves this code by 60% over the original code and 2x
over the code without prefetching for the affected hardware using the
benchmark code at https://github.com/apinski-cavium/copy_page_benchmark

We want to avoid lots of different copy_page implementations, settling
for something that is "good enough" everywhere and hopefully easy to
understand and maintain whilst we're at it.
This patch reworks our copy_page implementation based on discussions
with Cavium on the list and benchmarking on Cortex-A processors so that:
- The loop is unrolled to copy 128 bytes per iteration
- The reads are offset so that we read from the next 128-byte block
in the same iteration that we store the previous block
- Explicit prefetch instructions are removed for now, since they hurt
performance on CPUs with hardware prefetching
- The loop exit condition is calculated at the start of the loop

This patch adds udelay, memory and bit operations together with the
ksyms exports.
