Subject: x86/retpoline: Make CONFIG_RETPOLINE depend on compiler support
Git-commit: 4cd24de3a0980bf3100c9dcb08ef65ca7c31af48
Patch-mainline: v4.20-rc5
References: bsc#1106913

Since retpoline capable compilers are widely available, make
CONFIG_RETPOLINE hard depend on the compiler capability.

Break the build when CONFIG_RETPOLINE is enabled and the compiler does not
support it. Emit an error message in that case:

 "arch/x86/Makefile:226: *** You are building kernel with non-retpoline
  compiler, please update your compiler..  Stop."

[dwmw: Fail the build with non-retpoline compiler]

[
  Leave -DRETPOLINE in KBUILD_CFLAGS now so as to avoid a kABI breakage:

  KABI: symbol xen_xlate_map_ballooned_pages(vmlinux) changed crc from 0xfdc88b7f to 0x5466f030

  Proper fix will come later.
