Correct the number of single byte NOPs we want to be replaced in case
neither SMEP nor SMAP are available.

Also simplify the expression adding these NOPs - at that location .
equals .Lcr4_orig, and removing that part of the expression fixes a
bogus ".space or fill with negative value, ignored" warning by very old
gas (which actually is what made me look at those constructs again).
