[PATCH] x86/alt: Fix build when CONFIG_LIVEPATCH is disabled

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>]

c/s b28cd21c3628 "x86/build: Use new .nops directive when available"
introduced a __read_mostly boolean which is included if the toolchain supports
the .nops directive.

When CONFIG_LIVEPATCH is compiled out, alternative.o is expected to be a fully
init module, and toolchain_nops_are_ideal trips the build system check:

  Error: size of alternative.o:.data.read_mostly is 0x01
  /local/xen.git/xen/Rules.mk:206: recipe for target 'alternative.init.o' failed
  make[3]: *** [alternative.init.o] Error 12

Introduce init_or_livepatch_read_mostly and switch the annotation for
toolchain_nops_are_ideal.
