x86/alternatives: Fix optimize_nops() checking

Browse Source 
The alternatives code checks only the first byte whether it is a NOP, but
with NOPs in front of the payload and having actual instructions after it
breaks the "optimized' test.

Make sure to scan all bytes before deciding to optimize the NOPs in there.
