x86/asm: Remove %P operand modifier from altinstr asm templates



The "P" asm operand modifier is a x86 target-specific modifier.

For x86_64, when used with a symbol reference, the "%P" modifier
emits "sym" instead of "sym(%rip)". This property is currently
used to prevent %RIP-relative addressing in .altinstr sections.

%RIP-relative addresses are nowadays correctly handled in .altinstr
sections, so remove %P operand modifier from altinstr asm templates.

Also note that unlike GCC, clang emits %rip-relative symbol
reference with "P" asm operand modifier, so the patch also unifies
symbol handling with both compilers.

No functional changes intended.
