[PATCH 7/7] x86/speculation: Remove most ANNOTATE_NOSPEC_ALTERNATIVE

[Alexandre Chartre]

Now that intra-function calls and retpoline return instructions have
been annotated and that they are supported by objtool, almost all
ANNOTATE_NOSPEC_ALTERNATIVE can be removed.

ANNOTATE_NOSPEC_ALTERNATIVE is still needed when using the
__FILL_RETURN_BUFFER macro because it loops on intra-function calls
and objtool doesn't handle loops modifying the stack pointer.
