x86/retpoline: Fix retpoline unwind
Currently objtool cannot understand retpolines, and thus cannot generate ORC unwind information for them. This means that we cannot unwind from the middle of a retpoline. The recent ANNOTATE_INTRA_FUNCTION_CALL and UNWIND_HINT_RET_OFFSET support in objtool enables it to understand the basic retpoline construct. A further problem is that the ORC unwind information is alternative invariant; IOW. every alternative should have the same ORC, retpolines obviously violate this. This means we need to out-of-line them. Since all GCC generated code already uses out-of-line retpolines, this should not affect performance much, if anything. This will enable objtool to generate valid ORC data for the out-of-line copies, which means we can correctly and reliably unwind through a retpoline.
