s390/alternatives: Convert runtime sanity check into compile time check
__apply_alternatives() contains a runtime check which verifies that the size of the to be patched code area is even. Convert this to a compile time check using a similar ".org" trick, which is already used to verify that old and new code areas have the same size.
