x86/alternatives: Make optimize_nops() interrupt safe and synced

Browse Source 
Richard reported the following crash:

[    0.036000] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 55501e06
[    0.036000] IP: [<c0aae48b>] common_interrupt+0xb/0x38
[    0.036000] Call Trace:
[    0.036000]  [<c0409c80>] ? add_nops+0x90/0xa0
[    0.036000]  [<c040a054>] apply_alternatives+0x274/0x630

Chuck decoded:

 "  0:   8d 90 90 83 04 24       lea    0x24048390(%eax),%edx
    6:   80 fc 0f                cmp    $0xf,%ah
    9:   a8 0f                   test   $0xf,%al
 >> b:   a0 06 1e 50 55          mov    0x55501e06,%al
   10:   57                      push   %edi
   11:   56                      push   %esi

 Interrupt 0x30 occurred while the alternatives code was replacing the
 initial 0x90,0x90,0x90 NOPs (from the ASM_CLAC macro) with the
 optimized version, 0x8d,0x76,0x00. Only the first byte has been
 replaced so far, and it makes a mess out of the insn decoding."

optimize_nops() is buggy in two aspects:

- It's not disabling interrupts across the modification
- It's lacking a sync_core() call

Add both.

Fixes: 4fd4b6e553 'x86/alternatives: Use optimized NOPs for padding'
