By adding support for longer NOPs there are a few more alternatives
that can turn into a single instruction.
Add up to NOP11, the same limit where GNU as .nops also stops
generating longer nops. This is because a number of uarchs have severe
decode penalties for more than 3 prefixes.

Use the new generalized _ASM_BYTES() macro from <asm/asm.h> instead of
the "home grown" _ASM_MK_NOP() in <asm/nops.h>.
Add <asm/asm.h> and update <asm/nops.h> in the tools directory...

Since the kernel will rely on a single canonical set of NOPs, make sure
objtool uses the exact same ones.
