  1. Remove trailing semicolons from several macro definitions

    The x86 code contains several macros that following this pattern:
    
    ```rust
    macro_rules! expr {
        () => { true; }
    }
    
    fn bar(_val: bool) {}
    
    fn main() {
        bar(expr!());
    }
    ```
    
    Here, we have a macro `expr!` that expands to tokens sequence with
    a trailing semicolon.
    
    Currently, the trailing semicolon is ignored when the macro is invoked
    in expression position, due to rust-lang/rust#33953
    If this behavior is changed, then a large number of macro invocations in
    `stdarch` will stop compiling.
    
    Regardless of whether nor not this change is made, removing the
    semicolon more clearly expresses the intent of the code - these macros
    are designed to expand to the result of a function call, not ignore its
    results (as the `;` would suggest).
