[regression/bisected] Add IBPB decreases performance in two times

[Mikhail Gavrilov]

Hi,
I use Fedora Rawhide and noted that between commits 14f9643dc90a and
13b937206866 the gaming performance of my computer decreased in two
times.
I start bisecting and bisect blame this commit
138bcddb86d8a4f842e4ed6f0585abc9b1a764ff.

    x86/srso: Add IBPB

    Add the option to mitigate using IBPB on a kernel entry. Pull in the
    Retbleed alternative so that the IBPB call from there can be used. Also,
    if Retbleed mitigation is done using IBPB, the same mitigation can and
    must be used here.

I understand the concern about security but having 60FPS instead of
120FPS is not that I expected.
Unfortunately I couldn't just revert commit
233d6f68b98d480a7c42ebe78c38f79d44741ca9 because of conflicts.
But reverting all these commits:

restore PC initial performance

My specs:
CPU: Ryzen 7950X
GPU: Radeon 7900XTX

Maybe it is possible to find another approach for solving security
issue without slowing down?
If not, then provide an option to turn off this slowdown.

I attached my build kernel config in the archive below.
