x86/alternative: Try inline spectre_v2=retpoline,amd

Browse source 
commit bbe2df3f6b upstream.

Try and replace retpoline thunk calls with:

  LFENCE
  CALL    *%\reg

for spectre_v2=retpoline,amd.

Specifically, the sequence above is 5 bytes for the low 8 registers,
but 6 bytes for the high 8 registers. This means that unless the
compilers prefix stuff the call with higher registers this replacement
will fail.

Luckily GCC strongly favours RAX for the indirect calls and most (95%+
for defconfig-x86_64) will be converted. OTOH clang strongly favours
R11 and almost nothing gets converted.

Note: it will also generate a correct replacement for the Jcc.d32
case, except unless the compilers start to prefix stuff that, it'll
never fit. Specifically:

  Jncc.d8 1f
  LFENCE
  JMP     *%\reg
1:

is 7-8 bytes long, where the original instruction in unpadded form is
only 6 bytes.
