x86/asm: Optimize clear_page()
Currently, we CALL clear_page() which then JMPs to the proper function
chosen by the alternatives.
What we should do instead is CALL the proper function directly. (This
was something Ingo suggested a while ago). So let's do that.
Measuring our favourite kernel build workload shows that there are no
significant changes in performance.

allmodconfig vmlinux size grows by a ~1Kb but that's fine - we optimize
our calling of the clear_page variants.
