x86/alternatives: Fix p6 nops on non-modular kernels

Browse Source 
commit cb09cad44f upstream.

Probably a leftover from the early days of self-patching, p6nops
are marked __initconst_or_module, which causes them to be
discarded in a non-modular kernel.  If something later triggers
patching, it will overwrite kernel code with garbage.
