arm64: alternative: make alternative_has_cap_likely() VDSO compatible
Currently alternative_has_cap_unlikely() can be used in VDSO code, but alternative_has_cap_likely() cannot as it references alt_cb_patch_nops, which is not available when linking the VDSO. This is unfortunate as it would be useful to have alternative_has_cap_likely() available in VDSO code. The use of alt_cb_patch_nops was added in commit: d926079f ("arm64: alternatives: add shared NOP callback") ... as removing duplicate NOPs within the kernel Image saved areasonable amount of space. Given the VDSO code will have nowhere near as many alternative branches as the main kernel image, this isn't much of a concern, and a few extra nops isn't a massive problem. Change alternative_has_cap_likely() to only use alt_cb_patch_nops for the main kernel image, and allow duplicate NOPs in VDSO code.
