[PATCH 4.14 028/159] x86/asm: Dont use the confusing .ifeq directive

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com>

commit 82c62fa0c49aa305104013cee4468772799bb391 upstream.

I find the '.ifeq <expression>' directive to be confusing. Reading it
quickly seems to suggest its opposite meaning, or that it's missing an
argument.

Improve readability by replacing all of its x86 uses with
'.if <expression> == 0'.
