[PATCH 06/10] x86/cpufeature: Get rid of the non-asm goto variant

[Borislav Petkov]

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

I can simply quote hpa from the mail:

"Get rid of the non-asm goto variant and just fall back to dynamic if
asm goto is unavailable. It doesn't make any sense, really, if it is
supposed to be safe, and by now the asm goto-capable gcc is in more wide
use. (Originally the gcc 3.x fallback to pure dynamic didn't exist,
either.)"

Booy, am I lazy.

Cleanup the whole CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO ifdeffery too, while at it.
