These patches remove the optional 'cfg' parameter from alternative
macros.

Use of the 'cfg' parameter is less clear than ifdeffery or IS_ENABLED()
checks, and also doesn't allow the compiler to elide asm() blocks when
'cfg' is not selected, so it's preferable to avoid it.

Mark.

The ALTERNATIVE() macro accepts an optional 'cfg' parameter, which
accepts a CONFIG_* symbol. Where a CONFIG_* symbol is provided, but is
not selected, the ALTERNATIVE() macro will expand to nothing.

It would be nicer overall to remove the 'cfg' parameter and to have an
explicit check for 'cfg' outside of the asm() block. This is clearer to
a reader, and permits the compiler to elide the asm() block when 'cfg'
is not selected.

In the mte-kasan code, replace the usage of the 'cfg' parameter with an
explicit IS_ENABLED() check.

There are no remaining users of the 'cfg' parameter for alternative
sequences.

Remove support for the 'cfg' parameter. In general, it's better to use
explicit ifdeffery or IS_ENABLED() checks.
