BACKPORT: arm64: Delete the space separator in __emit_inst

[ Upstream commit c9a4ef66450145a356a626c833d3d7b1668b3ded ]

In assembly, many instances of __emit_inst(x) expand to a directive. In
a few places __emit_inst(x) is used as an assembler macro argument. For
example, in arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/entry.S

  ALTERNATIVE(nop, SET_PSTATE_PAN(1), ARM64_HAS_PAN, CONFIG_ARM64_PAN)

expands to the following by the C preprocessor:

  alternative_insn nop, .inst (0xd500401f | ((0) << 16 | (4) << 5) | ((!!1) << 8)), 4, 1

Both comma and space are separators, with an exception that content
inside a pair of parentheses/quotes is not split, so the clang
integrated assembler splits the arguments to:

   nop, .inst, (0xd500401f | ((0) << 16 | (4) << 5) | ((!!1) << 8)), 4, 1

GNU as preprocesses the input with do_scrub_chars(). Its arm64 backend
(along with many other non-x86 backends) sees:

  alternative_insn nop,.inst(0xd500401f|((0)<<16|(4)<<5)|((!!1)<<8)),4,1
  # .inst(...) is parsed as one argument

while its x86 backend sees:

  alternative_insn nop,.inst (0xd500401f|((0)<<16|(4)<<5)|((!!1)<<8)),4,1
  # The extra space before '(' makes the whole .inst (...) parsed as two arguments

The non-x86 backend's behavior is considered unintentional
(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25750).
So drop the space separator inside `.inst (...)` to make the clang
integrated assembler work.
