Subject: x86/speculation: Use generic retpoline by default on AMD
Git-commit: 244d00b5dd4755f8df892c86cab35fb2cfd4f14b
Git-repo: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git
Patch-mainline: Queued in a subsystem tree
References: bsc#1191580 CVE-2022-0001 CVE-2022-0002

AMD retpoline may be susceptible to speculation. The speculation
execution window for an incorrect indirect branch prediction using
LFENCE/JMP sequence may potentially be large enough to allow
exploitation using Spectre V2.

By default, don't use retpoline,lfence on AMD.  Instead, use the
generic retpoline.
