Don't use alternative_smp() in for __raw_spin_lock. gcc
sometimes generates rip-relative addressing, so we can't
simply copy the instruction to another place.
Replace some leftover "lock;" with LOCK_PREFIX.
Fillup space with 0x90 (nop) instead of 0x42, so
"objdump -d -j .smp_altinstr_replacement vmlinux" gives more
readable results.

Subject: fix up smp alternatives on x86-64
