x86/alternatives: Move the text_poke_array manipulation into text_poke_int3_loc_init() and rename it to __smp_text_poke_batch_add()

This simplifies the code and code generation a bit:

text data bss dec hex filename
14802 1029 4112 19943 4de7 alternative.o.before
14784 1029 4112 19925 4dd5 alternative.o.after
