Subject: x86/alternatives: Add missing '\n' at end of ALTERNATIVE inline asm

From: David Woodhouse <[email protected]>

commit b9e705ef7cfaf22db0daab91ad3cd33b0fa32eb9 upstream.

Where an ALTERNATIVE is used in the middle of an inline asm block, this would otherwise lead to the following instruction being appended directly to the trailing ".popsection", and a failed compile.
