[patch 17/20] x86_64: Change PMDS invocation to single macro

-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxx>

Very old binutils (2.12.90...) seem to have trouble with newlines
in assembler macro invocation. They put them into the resulting
argument expansion. In this case this lead to a parse error because
a .rept expression ended up spread over multiple lines. Change the PMDS()
invocation to a single line.
