    x86, asm: Fix CFI macro invocations to deal with shortcomings in gas · 3234282f

    gas prior to (perhaps) 2.16.90 has problems with passing non-
    parenthesized expressions containing spaces to macros. Spaces, however,
    get inserted by cpp between any macro expanding to a number and a
    subsequent + or -. For the +, current x86 gas then removes the space
    again (future gas may not do so), but for the - the space gets retained
    and is then considered a separator between macro arguments.
    
    Fix the respective definitions for both the - and + cases, so that they
    neither contain spaces nor make cpp insert any (the latter by adding
    seemingly redundant parentheses).
