Subject: x86,bugs: Unconditionally allow spectre_v2=retpoline,amd
Git-commit: f8a66d608a3e471e1202778c2a36cbdc96bae73b
Patch-mainline: v5.16-rc1
References: bsc#1191580 CVE-2022-0001 CVE-2022-0002
Currently Linux prevents usage of retpoline,amd on !AMD hardware, this
is unfriendly and gets in the way of testing. Remove this restriction.
